Are there any restrictions or limits with the Speak (AI conversation) feature?
On the Communicate Plan, the following limits apply:
Regular Chat Modes: Up to 75 messages each day (takes the average learner 45 mins)
Call Mode: Up to 30 minutes of call time daily.
Should you reach your daily allowance in either chat or call mode, it will refresh the next day. For continuous, unrestricted access, you can upgrade to Langua Unlimited.
Here are some tips on making your regular chat mode allowance last longer:
Avoid giving very short 'yes' or 'no' answers. Instead, answer with full sentences. Don't worry about making mistakes as you can see corrections by hitting the pencil icon next to your message. You can normally use words from the question asked, or even reply partly in English, then see the translation.
You'll make steady progress if you practice for 30 minutes several days a week on Langua. This is more effective than doing one long session once a week. If you have extra time after chatting, try either:
a) saving words you didn't know as flashcards (by clicking on the word then clicking the plus button), then going to Flashcards or creating an AI story with your saved words.
b) following a podcast episode or video with a transcript. Getting lots of listening and/or reading practice is vital to reach an advanced level.
Why is there a limit on the Communicate plan?
The AI technology used in the background is currently very expensive for us to run (cheaper AI tech exists but is not as intelligent - we use the best models available). To ensure we can cover costs whilst still offering what intensive learners need, we introduced the Unlimited plan for limitless conversation practice.
