- Run a practice conversation with levelled replies, corrections each turn and a saved mistake list.
Many learners open a chatbot, chat for ten minutes and leave without knowing what they got wrong. Others find the assistant switches to English, writes sentences far above their level or corrects nothing. A good practice partner stays in the target language, matches your level and tells you precisely what to fix.
That comes from clear instructions at the start, as the prompting guides recommend: define the role, the level and the format of every reply. Then keep a personal mistake list and review it. The assistant is a practice partner, not an authority, so check important grammar points with a teacher or a dictionary.
The examples below are illustrative exercises, not recorded results from any tool. Sources were checked on 24 October 2026; menus, limits and prices change, so confirm details on the linked pages.
Before you start
- A language you are learning and your rough level (for example A2)
- A note app for your mistake list
- A teacher, textbook or dictionary for checking doubts

Set the rules of the conversation
Tell the assistant your target language, your level, the topic and the format of every turn. Ask for short replies at your level, one question at a time, and no switching to English unless you write “help”. Rules set at the start hold better than reminders later.
You are my [language] conversation partner. My level is [level]. Topic: [topic]. Rules: reply only in [language] at my level, 2 to 3 short sentences, then ask me one question. Do not switch to English unless I write “help”. After each of my messages, first show my message corrected, then list up to 3 mistakes with a one-line reason each, then continue the conversation.Example / expected result
Illustrative example; not a recorded model result.
My message “Yo vamos al mercado ayer”. Corrected: “Fui al mercado ayer.” Mistakes: 1) wrong verb tense for the past, 2) pronoun not needed.
Check your result
The first reply is in the target language at your level, with one question.
Use the correction format and ask for the reason when unsure
Answer each question and read the corrected version out loud. If a correction surprises you, write “why?” and ask for one example sentence. Stay with up to three mistakes per turn; more becomes noise. Keep each session to about ten minutes.
Check your result
Each of your messages is followed by a corrected version and no more than three explained mistakes.
Save mistakes in a list and review it, with a human check
After each session copy your repeated mistakes into your note, with the corrected example. Review the list at the start of the next session and again after a week. Take two or three doubtful points to a teacher or dictionary, because the assistant can be wrong about nuance, slang and regional usage.
Check your result
Your list has dated entries with correct examples, and doubtful points have been checked with a person or a dictionary.
When it goes wrong
Do not rely on AI for pronunciation judgements from text alone. Corrections can be wrong, especially for rare structures. Do not share personal details in practice chats. Real conversations with speakers still matter.
Make it your own
Run one ten-minute practice session. Copy three mistakes into your list and review them three days later without looking at the corrections.
