No one can teach you a language
YOU need to take the lead!

Our celebrity co-founder Arieh, aka Xiaoma, has learned over 50 languages, including American Sign Language.

I know, it almost sounds like a joke.

But it isn’t 😄

On his six-million-subscriber YouTube channel, you can find hundreds of videos in which he speaks all those languages with strangers.

You might wonder how people like Xiaoma learn languages so fast.

I speak seven languages myself, and I’ve worked with some of the best language learners in the world.
What they all agree on is:
No one can teach you a language; YOU need to take the lead!
That’s why Teacher AI doesn’t offer any lessons. It’s up to the user to decide what to practice.

That said, after a while you might run out of topics to talk about.

That’s why we’ve created a list below of 100 topics you can talk about with your language tutor. You can use this with your Teacher AI or your ‘human’ tutor.

We’ve divided the topics into three categories

Each topic includes a line you can use with your teacher to start the conversation.
