German practice — questions
Is German grammar a problem when speaking?
Not here. Lukas keeps talking even if your cases are wrong, and corrections (if enabled) point out the fix without interrupting the flow.
Du or Sie?
At a relaxed dinner in Berlin, Lukas uses “du” — and he’ll tell you when “Sie” would be expected.
Do I need to type?
No. Chit-Chat is hands-free: just talk. It hears when you finish speaking, and you can interrupt whoever you’re talking to, just like a real conversation. A text box is there if you prefer to type.
How much does it cost?
Your first 5 minutes of conversation are free, with no card needed. After that, Pro is $25/month to talk as much as you like with everyone at the table, within a daily fair-use limit. Cancel any time.
