Hey folks, I’m looking for a few beta testers for PolyGlawt, an iPhone app for people who are in that annoying middle stage with learning a language.

You know the type:

• you took Spanish or French in school,
• you understand some of it,
• you can manage some sentences,
• you got to a great streak on DuoLingo,
• but when it’s time to actually speak, you blank.

The app immerses you into short real-world scenarios like ordering food or shopping, and you speak out loud to a vendor/server. Intent is the key, if what you say is roughly in line with the current "goal" you'll pass. If not, it'll guide you on target.

I’m mainly looking for people who fit that “can sorta understand, kinda speak, but freeze” profile and are willing to give honest feedback.

If that’s you, comment or DM me and I’ll send the beta link.

I'm at an MVP stage for my language learning platform. No subscription/revenue model built yet, but the core app is solid and more than functional. I've been working on getting early testers, but its been a struggle. I have a public facing TestFlight, am I too early to post this on Product Hunt? I'm struggling to figure out a way to really engage with more testers and work towards conversion

I’m curious how common this is:

I’ve been learning Spanish for a long time, but if I haven’t spoken it in a while, there’s this weird “warm-up” period when I’m abroad. I noticed it throughout the Carribean, Mexico, and South America: the first day I’m overthinking everything, then suddenly something clicks and I’m just speaking instead of mentally translating.

It’s not that I don’t know the words. It’s more like the context switch from studying/listening to actually speaking to a person takes a minute.

For anyone else who’s intermediate/near-fluent in a language:

• Do you get this freeze too?
• What situations trigger it most?
• Ordering food? Small talk? Asking for help?
• What has actually helped you get past it?

I'm trying to get to a point where I just drop into a new place and communicate like a (almost) local from day 1

I’ve been playing around with short scenario practice out loud, like rehearsing a market or restaurant interaction, but I’m still figuring out what actually helps versus what just feels like studying.

Would love to hear what’s worked or not worked for you.
