💬 Back in college, I majored in Spanish and spent time studying in Mexico and Costa Rica. At one point, I was fluent—but that was in 1997! Since then, I haven’t practiced speaking much.
👩‍👧‍👦 Over the past eight years, my family has had five live-in Au Pairs from Spanish-speaking countries like Costa Rica, Colombia, and Panama. I encouraged them to speak only Spanish with my children to help them become fluent. While I’ve gained a lot of listening comprehension, speaking still feels like a hurdle for me.
📞 Yesterday, while interviewing our sixth Au Pair, I had a breakthrough. The entire interview was conducted in Spanish, and I understood nearly everything! However, responding in Spanish wasn’t as easy, and it reminded me how much I need to practice speaking.
That’s when inspiration struck—what if I could create an AI-powered voice agent to help me improve?
🚀 Today, I made it happen! I built an AI agent fluent in both English and Spanish:
âś… It asks basic questions in Spanish.
âś… It helps me form responses and corrects pronunciation.
âś… It provides English explanations if I get stuck.
But that’s not all—I also created a reverse agent to help Spanish speakers improve their English! 🌎
✨ What makes this tool special?
💻 I can practice through voice and even read the text on my PC—perfect for building confidence without the pressure of live conversations.
⏳ I can learn at my own pace, on my own terms.
🤖 This project has been a game-changer for me, blending technology and language learning in a way that feels natural and accessible.
