I’m Shadi, a displaced founder who once crossed the desert to escape war—and later built Taaly, a language learning platform where learners practice 1-on-1 conversations with native speakers, guided by real-time AI feedback.
Unlike Duolingo or typical language schools, Taaly focuses on speaking—the skill most learners struggle to develop. We discovered that people learn best through conversation, but random chat apps weren't cutting it. So we added real-time AI guidance to help both the learner and the coach improve together.
Here’s what makes Taaly different:
Live, one-on-one video practice—no group classes or bots
Support for multiple languages (Dutch, Arabic, English, Spanish, French, German… more coming)
Dual-role accounts – coach in your language, learn a new one
Karma Coins – earn by helping, spend by learning. Buy if you want, earn if you contribute
Smart matching – AI pairs you based on interests, level, and background
We’re bootstrapped and growing. Just added:
AI guidance in live sessions
Learner-to-coach Karma Coin system
Profile-driven smart matches
Would love your feedback on:
Retention strategies for marketplace-style apps
Scaling the Karma Coin system
Ideas for growing trust in a peer-to-peer learning environment
