Hi all,

I want to learn Dutch and by experience I know I learn better when talking with native speakers.

From your experience, is there a good AI I can converse with in Dutch? It would be even better if I could see the transcription in Dutch.

Gliglish (https://gliglish.com) looks good but is more for speaking than for learning. I'd like to be able to set a situation (negotiating a job offer, calling a supplier ...).

I’m building https://instantlyfluent.com, a small project to help people and myself practice languages before travel. It works through voice or text chats with AI.

I tried Gliglish but didn’t like how it was structured. So I started turning my own “learn a language before a trip” routine into something easier to use.

Dutch is not supported yet, and there are still some rough edges. But the idea is simple: help people remember words by using them. You say or type something, and get a reply you can hear or read.

In conversations on IF, there is no fixed path. You can start with a topic, then ask to switch to something else. It’s meant to be low-pressure and flexible.

Still figuring things out. Happy to share more or hear from others working on similar tools.
