AI apps and language tutors are everywhere these days.

They promise to make you fluent.

They promise to make you confident.

So do they actually work?

In the apps and tools that I've tried,

and from what our members have shared with me,

I've noticed a few things that don't align with true fluency,

and things that might not give you the confidence that you need in those moments that really matter.

Hello, hello!

Welcome back to everyone joining me from all around the world today.

My name is Emma.

I'm the founder of HeyLady,

an online community that connects women through English.

We bring together women who've learned English as a second language

to practice speaking in real conversations in a supportive space so

that we have the confidence to use English in the moments that really matter.

At work, when we're travelling and in everyday life.

If you've been learning English for a while now but you still struggle to speak confidently,

you are in the right place.

You can join me

and thousands of others around the world right here every week as we break down the barriers

that stop you or keep you from speaking confidently in English.

Alright, let's get into the episode.

This week's episode was inspired by a question sent by Marina from Brazil.

Hello Emma.

I've been seeing so many ads for AI apps to speak English.

They all say they will correct all my mistakes and help me get fluent and confident faster.

But you're always telling us that we need to speak with real people.

So I would like to ask what you think about AI and does it really work?

Marina, great question.

And honestly, you're not the only one wondering this right now.

I think the reason why so many of us are drawn to AI for speaking practice is because it feels,

it feels safe.

It's available whenever you want, instantaneously.

It doesn't get tired.

It doesn't judge you.

And it corrects every mistake.

So for many women, this feels like the perfect solution.

And in many ways, AI is really helpful,

especially with generating ideas and answering questions,

providing role plays, improving the way that you write.

When you're a beginner, it can be really,

really helpful to prompt your speaking practice in this way.

If you're at an intermediate level or higher,

I think that choosing AI as a way to build your confidence

and your fluency speaking is something that you need to be a little cautious about.

So what do I mean by that?

Well, look, there's a very clear pattern among the thousands of women that we've helped at Hey Lady.

Women who have arrived with a belief that they need to be correct before they feel confident.

That their English has to be perfect,

otherwise they won't be understood or even worse, they might be judged.

Maybe you can relate to these same thoughts or feelings as well.

But here's why it's a problem.

These AI apps that correct you all the time are focused on your accuracy.

So they're highlighting errors, they're giving you a score,

they tell you what you got wrong and then they tell you in the next sentence and again and again.

When you're first learning English, accuracy is really important.

It's that input.

You're learning basic grammar, You're learning the words that you need to describe the world around you.

It gives you that solid foundation.

But once you move beyond that beginner stage,

there are so many other skills that become much more useful,

much more useful than just the input,

the knowledge on its own.

By training you to think about grammar rules while you're speaking,

AI tools are reinforcing the idea that English is a test that you have to pass every time.

That every single sentence is right or it's wrong.

There's something to fix or there's not.

But the thing that I want you to keep in mind is that speaking English,

having a conversation with someone, that's not an exam.

It's an exchange.

We're passing messages.

We're sharing thoughts and opinions and ideas between each other.

And just like in your native language,

that exchange when you're speaking, it's often imperfect.

You've got to be thinking on your feet and reacting to things.

You've got to find ways to use the language

that you already have to find points of connection between you and the person that you're talking to.

And this is all so you can have a positive experience together,

a successful experience together.

We've been doing this since we were kids and we're still doing it today as adults.

It's this lifelong learning and evolution.

In natural conversations, if you choose the wrong word or you break a grammar rule,

the conversation doesn't stop while the other person corrects you, does it?

Real conversations are often a little bit messy.

They're often unpredictable.

And it's about reacting to those different variations or those different moments

and building up the confidence to be able to do that.

With AI, you can't practice what happens when someone interrupts you

or when they can't find the right word or

when the conversation starts to take an unexpected turn and you feel your face getting hot and your blood rising, right?

These are the real

and unescapable moments of communicating in real time with real people who are right there in front of you.

These moments, the ones when our fear of being judged quickly begins to appear,

these moments, they are going to happen.

And in my opinion, speaking with an AI is like a bubble where nothing can go wrong.

Yes, it might feel comfortable right now, but it's not real.

So what's the missing piece then?

Something that I think we can all agree on is that AI is definitely programmed to please us.

100

And hey, there's nothing necessarily wrong with that.

101

Most of the time, it feels really good to have someone telling you

102

that your ideas are great and that you're really awesome.

103

I like it as well.

104

But in many ways, it's kind of a false or an artificial sense of achievement, right?

105

You didn't really get to know each other.

106

You didn't truly connect.

107

You never persuaded someone to a different point of view.

108

That conversation wasn't meaningful.

109

It was functional.

110

And when you look closely at what makes a conversation meaningful,

111

you realize that it's exactly what AI is missing.

112

Empathy.

113

It can't put itself in your shoes or compare its life to your life experiences.

114

It didn't grow up somewhere.

115

It can't genuinely share a nostalgic tradition from your home country

116

or share what it feels like to celebrate a new child coming into your family.

117

Real people bring lived experience and AI can be programmed to predict or to guess the right words to say,

118

perhaps what to say when you're feeling tired or grieving or angry or proud,

119

but it doesn't understand what it feels like to be excluded

120

or to be left out or to feel the joy of finally being included in a conversation.

121

It's never actually lived those experiences because it's artificial.

122

And one last thought that I have about this is that AI is great at one-to-one,

123

but life is not one-to-one.

124

Your work meetings, your family dinners,

125

social events, they involve groups and each person brings their own personality and tone.

126

So navigating that requires experience with other people, different people, different personalities.

127

This is where you learn how to read the room.

128

This is what we say in English.

129

It's where we get to learn from

130

social cues or cultural cues of seeing or hearing

131

or watching people interact with each other in the spaces in front of us.

132

Communicating with a group of people is where so much learning happens,

133

so many skills develop, skills that are impossible to develop in one-to-one AI conversations.

134

So what's the better path forward?

135

The women who've made the biggest breakthroughs in our community are not necessarily the ones with the best grammar

136

or the widest knowledge.

137

They're the ones who showed up and spoke with lots of different people

138

and learned to express their ideas about different topics in different contexts.

139

They learned how to connect with their identity and their true self in English.

140

They didn't wait until they were perfect.

141

They started talking.

142

And from there, they grew.

143

They gained experience using the language that they already knew,

144

that they had inside them already.

145

And they proved to themselves,

146

Hey, I can be understood.

147

I can connect.

148

I'm actually having a good time.

149

Even if they're making mistakes.

150

Improving your accuracy.

151

Learning new grammar, more vocabulary,

152

more phrasal verbs, more slang.

153

All of those things become much easier once you build the capacity

154

and the confidence to speak with the language that you already have.

155

Here's what I want you to take away from today.

156

AI is a tool.

157

It's a useful tool.

158

And it definitely has a place in language learning.

159

But it can't replace the experience of real human interaction, real conversation.

160

That's what we're here for, right?

161

AI doesn't care about the journey that you're on.

162

It doesn't understand the challenges or even the trivial little moments that pop up during your day.

163

I know that for many of you,

164

taking that first step to start speaking more,

165

to speak more regularly, knowing that it's going to be a little messy

166

and knowing that you will make mistakes and feel a bit flustered,

167

that can be difficult and it can be a little scary.

168

It can be something that you put off and off and off.

169

But the fear that you feel about speaking to real people is exactly why you need to do it.

170

It's where that real growth happens, in the messy middle.

171

You don't need more corrections from a robot,

172

sorry AI, but you don't need more corrections.

173

You don't need to perpetuate that belief that it has to be perfect,

174

that you have to fix it.

175

Instead, commit to showing up with other real people and work it out together.

176

Work on these challenges together.

177

That's exactly what happens inside Hey Lady.

178

Inside Hey Lady, you can practice with real women who understand exactly how you feel,

179

who are working through those same challenges

180

or who were exactly where you are right now

181

and they know how to make you feel safe and supported

182

and encouraged as you are doing something hard and challenging and difficult.

183

If you'd like to come and try Hey Lady out,

184

you can find the link down in the show notes in the description.

185

You can start with a free trial and come along to your first conversation this week,

186

tomorrow, right now.

187

Thank you so much for being here today.

188

I want you to remember that nothing beats real human connections.

189

You are perfectly imperfect, just like the rest of us.

190

See you next time.
