Задача

A friend practicing foreign languages feels hesitant and self-conscious speaking with native speakers or posting in public chat groups.

Результат

The friend can practice conversational foreign languages privately, cost‑free, and offline, receiving real‑time, non‑interruptive corrections.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install Ollama and download Google’s Gemma 2 2B model (gemma2:2b).
• 2. Run the Streamlit app that connects to the local Ollama instance.
• 3. Engage in conversation; the model replies in the target language and inserts corrections in brackets when mistakes occur.
• 4. Continue practice sessions without internet or external API calls.
