ISSEN

ISSEN is an AI voice tutor for learning a foreign language through spoken conversation. Learners talk with a tutor in real time, get corrections as they go, and can shift between a focused grammar lesson and a casual chat about their day. The tutor understands both the learner's native language and the target language, adapts to interests, level and goals, and remembers how the learner studies. It is intended for individual learners who want regular low pressure speaking practice, with sessions available at any hour. The home page features Mandarin Chinese and also lists Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese as headline options, with a much longer list of supported languages. Each tutor has a distinct voice, accent, personality and background, for example Spanish tutors based in Mexico City, Madrid, Medellin and Buenos Aires. Learners can try it on the web, and organizations have a separate contact route. The site states that ISSEN costs between 15 and 39 dollars per month depending on the plan and the learner's country, and that the subscription can be canceled. Prices therefore vary by location, and no further plan breakdown is published on the page.
