The pain point is real: language learners lack affordable, low-pressure speaking practice. ChatGPT can fill this gap, but the current experience is unstructured and inconsistent. The hard part is habit formation and perceived value vs. free alternatives. Distribution through language learning communities is feasible. For this to work, users must see measurable improvement in fluency within weeks.
