Foreign Languages in High School: Conversation with AI Instead of Expensive Tutoring

I want to estimate my level in [English] on the A2/B1/B2 scale.

Do it this way:
1. Ask me 8 questions in [English], from simple to more complex —
   ones that reveal my vocabulary range and confidence with tenses.
   Ask one at a time and wait for my answer.
2. Don't correct or comment on anything along the way, just keep
   asking.
3. At the end, tell me in [my native language]: an estimated level,
   three specific things I do well, and three things holding me
   back (with an example from my answers for each)
4. Recommend what level I should hold conversations at to keep
   improving — not so it's comfortable, but not so I can't
   understand either

Treat this as an estimate, not a certificate. Start with the first
question.

From now on, you're my conversation partner for [English]. Stick to
these rules in every conversation until I say otherwise:

MY LEVEL: [B1]. Use vocabulary and grammar at this level, and
occasionally throw in one harder word, then immediately reuse it
in another sentence so I can figure it out from context.

HOW TO TALK: short sentences, natural pace, no long complex
sentences. Speak in [English], and only switch to [my native
language] if I explicitly ask you to, or if I fail to understand
three times in a row.

CORRECTIONS: do NOT correct or interrupt me during the
conversation, even for major mistakes. The conversation needs to
keep flowing. If you don't understand me, rephrase instead of
explaining.

ASK QUESTIONS: always end your response with a question, so I
have something to respond to. If I answer in one sentence, follow
up for detail.

AFTER THE CONVERSATION: only once I say "done," give me the
analysis — in [my native language], following the rules I'll
send you.

Understood? Reply in one sentence and start with the topic
[topic].

Let's do a roleplay in [English]. My level is [B1].

SITUATION: [e.g. I'm a hotel guest, there's no hot water in my
room, and I want it fixed; you're the receptionist, who first
offers a solution that doesn't work for me]

RULES:
- stay in character, don't correct or explain anything along
  the way
- don't make it easy: don't agree with everything right away,
  make me argue my case
- talk naturally, including common phrases a native speaker
  would actually use
- if I get stuck and type "help," give me one word of a hint
  and keep going in character

When I say "done," drop the roleplay and give me the analysis.
You start, with the first line.

Prepare a set of conversation prompts for the exam topic [topic],
at level [B1].

I want:
- 5 questions I might expect on an oral exam, ranging from
  descriptive to opinion-based
- for each, 6 useful phrases or expressions that fit it (not
  isolated words, whole phrases)
- 3 roleplay scenarios on this topic where I have to react,
  not just narrate
- 5 questions I'm afraid of, because I wouldn't have much to say
  even in my own language — with a hint for each on how to talk
  around it politely and fluently

Write the prompts in [English], phrases with a [native-language]
translation, notes in [my native language].

End of conversation. Now give me the analysis, in [my native
language], in this order:

1. MISTAKES I made — only the ones that recurred or interfered
   with understanding. No more than 6. For each: what I said, how
   it should be, and ONE sentence on why (what rule is behind it).
2. NATIVE-LANGUAGE PATTERNS IN [ENGLISH]: sentences I clearly
   translated directly from [my native language] that a native
   speaker wouldn't phrase that way — and how it's normally said.
3. WHAT I WAS MISSING: 5 words or phrases I needed during the
   conversation and didn't have — each in the full sentence from
   our conversation.
4. WHAT WENT WELL: two things I said well.
5. One topic for next time that will push me to use what I just
   learned.

Don't correct minor things and don't list everything — I want
six mistakes that matter, not forty.

Here's a list of words I need to learn from [textbook, lesson X]:

[paste the list]

Turn them into material I can actually study from:
- for each word, write 2 sentences in [English] at level [B1] that
  use it naturally (not artificial textbook sentences)
- at least one of those sentences should be about ordinary
  high-school life
- for words with multiple meanings, show the difference with
  a pair of sentences
- for each word, note what it typically pairs with (common
  collocations, prepositions, verbs)
- flag words that get confused with a similar-looking word in
  [my native language], or that mean something different than
  they look like they do

Finally, write a short story (max 150 words) that uses as many
of these words together as possible.

Turn these sentences and words into Anki flashcards:

[paste sentences and words, straight from the conversation
analysis if you like]

Format: two columns separated by a semicolon, one card per line,
no header, no numbering.

Rules:
- on the front, put the native-language sentence, or the sentence
  with a blank in the form "I ___ to the doctor yesterday. (go)"
- on the back, the correct full sentence, not just the missing word
- one card = one thing to remember, never a list
- for irregular verbs, make a separate card for the forms
- skip words that are identical in [my native language] and the
  foreign language

Return only those lines, nothing else.

I don't get [a grammar point, e.g. the difference between the
present perfect and simple past] in [English]. I'm [a high school
student], level [B1].

Explain it to me in [my native language] like this:
1. What this feature is actually for — one sentence, no jargon
2. The basic rule for when to use it and when not to
3. Five pairs of sentences that differ only in this feature, with
   a [native-language] translation of both — I want to see how
   the meaning changes
4. What specifically trips up speakers of [my native language]:
   why we struggle with it and which construction in our own
   language leads us to the wrong form
5. A simple mental test I can run through when I'm not sure which
   option to use

Don't give me a table of all the forms, I have plenty of those in
my textbook. I want to understand when to use what.

Prepare an exercise on [grammar point] for level [B1].

- 15 fill-in-the-blank sentences where the feature genuinely
  needs to be distinguished (no sentences where either option
  would work)
- make the sentences about ordinary situations, not abstract
  examples
- increase the difficulty gradually, make the last three tricky
- separately, give 5 sentences in [my native language] to
  translate, so I have to produce it myself instead of just
  picking
- put the answers ALL THE WAY AT THE END, separated out, not
  next to individual sentences
- for each answer, add one sentence on why, especially for
  the tricky ones

After I check my answers, tell me whether I should keep
practicing this feature or move on to the next one.

I wrote an essay in [English]. The prompt was: [prompt, including
the required text type and length]. My level is [B1].

MY TEXT:
[paste the text exactly as you wrote it, mistakes included]

DON'T REWRITE IT FOR ME. I want feedback, not a finished text.
Do this:
1. List mistakes in a table: what I wrote | correct version |
   type of mistake (grammar / vocabulary / spelling / translated
   directly from my native language) | one-sentence explanation
   in [my native language]
2. Flag the 3 most serious mistakes — the ones that would hurt
   me most on an exam — and say why
3. Assess content and structure: did I answer the prompt, do
   I have an intro and conclusion, does the text stay on topic,
   are the length and text type correct
4. Write 5 phrases that would elevate the text — but just list
   them, don't insert them into the text
5. Tell me what to fix myself, and I'll send it back to you

Don't rewrite anything for me, not even one sentence.

Here's my second version of the text, after corrections:

[paste the corrected text]

Compare it to the previous version and tell me:
1. Which mistakes I fixed correctly
2. Which ones I fixed wrong or only halfway — and what's still
   off about them
3. Which ones I missed entirely
4. Whether a fix broke something (a sentence that was better
   before)
5. One thing to focus on for my next text

Again: don't rewrite the text. And don't hold back, I want to
know.

I'm writing a [formal email / complaint / request] in [English]
about [topic], level [B1], length [120 words].

First give me material to work from, then I'll write it myself:
1. An outline: what goes in which paragraph
2. Set phrases for each part (greeting, reason for writing, main
   point, request, closing) — for each, note whether it's formal,
   neutral, or too informal
3. Five expressions that don't belong in a formal text, even
   though we use them casually all the time, and what to replace
   them with
4. What to watch out for specifically in [English] (punctuation
   after the greeting, abbreviations, introductory phrases)

Don't write the text for me, I'll write it myself and send it
to you for review.

I'm going to listen to a [video / podcast] about [topic] in
[English], [8] minutes long, my level is [B1].

BEFORE LISTENING, prepare:
- 10 words and phrases that are almost certain to come up in
  material like this, with a translation and pronunciation
- 5 questions to listen for the answer to
- a heads-up on what's likely to be hardest (speed, accent,
  specialized vocabulary)

AFTER LISTENING, ask me those 5 questions and let me answer in
my own words. Then assess what I didn't understand, and whether
it was mostly vocabulary or the speed.

Don't tell me what the material is about — I want to hear that
for myself.

Build me a fifteen-minute daily routine for [English], level [B1],
goal [improve speaking and prep for my final exam in two years].

My day looks like this: [when I have time, when I'm commuting,
when I have clubs/activities].

Break the week down by day:
- what specifically I do that day (an activity, not "practice")
- how many minutes on what
- how I'll know it's done
- leave one day off

For each activity, note what specifically it improves, so I know
why not to skip it. And suggest how I'll check after a month
whether anything's actually changed — some concrete self-test.
