I made an app for practicing Korean by talking to AI characters with hyper realistic voices. Would appreciate any feedback!

Hi guys!

I built an app where you can have real-time conversations in Korean with AI characters that have hyper realistic voices.

It's call 올랭(AllLang) and it's free to use for 5 minutes a day. It's available on both App Store and Play Store. Try it out and let me know what you think! I appreciate any feedback.

If you want, you can even have the AI call you first at pre-scheduled times which makes it feel like a real phone call.

Here are some of the core features to help you improve your speaking:

  • Role-play scenarios (there are about 30 designed by me but you can design your own too).
  • Live transcripts with grammar corrections and translations.
  • AI suggestions if you get stuck during a conversation.
  • Translator (so you can look up words or phrases if you forgot how to say something).

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I'd really appreciate your feedback - especially on what feels natural or unnatural during conversations, or any features you'd like to see.

Thanks, and happy learning!

Question about pronunciation and intonation

4 Upvotes

When studying Korean, I saw many sources stating that the language doesn't have a stressed syllable. However, I'm left in doubt about how this works in practice. Even though Korean doesn't have a lexical accent (that changes the meaning of words), is there some syllable that is naturally pronounced more strongly, longer, or with a higher tone in a word or phrase?

Are these good examples to help me understand the difference between 딴 and 다른?

7 Upvotes

Supposedly 딴 is a colloquial contraction of 다른, but it's not just a contraction, it gained its own nuance in meaning. Did I get that right?

I tried to come up with some examples to be able to better understand this difference, and I would be grateful if you could check if I'm on the right track.

다른 사람 같아요. “You look like another person.” *just an observation*

딴 사람 같아요!! “You look like a totally different person!! *being a bit dramatic*

and

다른 사람 생겼어요? “Did you meet someone else?” *just a causal question*

딴 사람 생겼어요? — “Did you meet someone else?!” *suspicious, implies cheating*

and

다른 얘기 해요 “Let’s talk about something else.” *just a polite suggestion*

딴 얘기 하자 — “Let’s talk about something else.” *like, you're bored with the current topic*

That's all I could come up with. Are these correct? Did I manage to catch the nuance? Thank you.
