AI Avatar for Language Practice
A patient conversation partner who talks face-to-face, at your level, without judgement — and remembers where you left off.
The hardest part of learning a language is getting conversation practice — a patient partner who talks face-to-face, at your level, whenever you have twenty minutes. A real-time avatar does exactly that, and with per-user memory it remembers what you struggle with and what you talked about last week. Selvia AI offers this at $0.03/minute all-inclusive (60 free minutes monthly), as a widget or API for language platforms, institutes, and tutors to build on.
Why face-to-face matters for language practice
Language is a face-to-face skill — turn-taking, listening under real conditions, responding at speed. Text chatbots rehearse vocabulary; speaking to a face rehearses speaking. Learners also report the judgement-free effect: an avatar never sighs at the fourth attempt, and the embarrassment that keeps adults silent in group classes simply isn't there.
What memory changes
Practice without continuity restarts at zero every session. A partner with per-user memory turns sessions into a thread: “last time you mixed up the past tenses — want to warm up there?” Progress becomes visible to the learner, and — for institutes and apps embedding the avatar — retention becomes visible to the business. This continuity is the feature to test against any alternative; most conversational AI forgets you at hangup.
Who deploys it
- ·Language-learning platforms and apps — embed a speaking partner via API; usage-priced ($0.03/min) rather than per-seat, so it scales with actual practice.
- ·Coaching institutes and schools — spoken-English practice as a configured assistant; pairs naturally with the admissions assistant many institutes already run.
- ·Independent tutors — homework between human lessons: the tutor sets the topics; the avatar provides the repetitions.
Honest scope
The avatar is a practice partner, configured with your content and instructions — it converses, corrects, and remembers. Curriculum design, assessment, and pedagogy remain with your teachers and your platform; the avatar delivers the one thing they can't scale: unlimited patient conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages does it support?
Conversation in the major languages our voice stack supports — test your target pair on the free tier (60 minutes/month) before committing; conversational fluency varies by language on every platform.
Does it correct mistakes?
Yes, per the behaviour you configure — from gentle recasts to explicit corrections. You set the level and style.
Does it remember learners between sessions?
Yes — per-user memory is built in: sessions continue rather than restart, and the avatar can pick up where the learner left off, including recurring trouble spots.
Can we embed it in our app or platform?
Yes — as a widget or via the full API/SDK, usage-priced at $0.03/minute all-inclusive rather than per-seat, so it scales with actual practice time.
Is it a teacher?
No — it's the conversation-practice layer; curriculum, assessment and pedagogy remain with your teachers and your platform. The avatar delivers the one thing they can't scale: unlimited patient conversation.
