English Julia bot

Julia tries to be a whole English course rather than a single chat. The core is a structured B1 syllabus: modules and units with warm-ups, guided dialogues, role-plays and reflection, where Julia checks your answers, gives feedback and decides when you are ready to move on. Outside the course you can chat by text or voice, send an image or a photo of your homework to discuss, and switch to a real-time voice call with a natural-sounding voice for on-the-fly help with pronunciation and phrasing. The developer's site says the bot runs on GPT-4o, ElevenLabs voices and Google speech and vision models.

Julia also puts you in touch with other learners. /chatroulette pairs you anonymously with a stranger, and you can choose your partner's gender; speaking clubs are anonymous group rooms of up to 20 people that disappear after 24 hours and keep only the last 20 messages. That is practice with real people, but it also means chatting with people you don't know, so share nothing personal and keep an eye on teenagers using it. According to the site, the interface is available in more than 20 languages and translations are built in.

The free plan gives up to 30 messages a day, a one-minute taste of the live voice chat and unlimited clubs and roulette. Premium costs 450 Telegram Stars a month, which the site puts at about $9.90, and raises the limit to 300 messages a day, unlocks the full B1 course and includes at least 10 minutes of live voice a month. Extra voice minutes come in Stars packs, from 150 Stars for about 12 minutes, and inviting friends earns points you can trade for Premium time. Julia is built by an independent developer and publishes no user numbers or privacy policy.
