You can ask ChatGPT to role play as a foreign language speaking person speaking to you as a beginner language learner. I tried chatting with it in Mandarin and it did pretty well!

The downside is that it's text instead of audio. There are several other companies working on different versions of this idea for other markets.

Stuff like that will probably never be the same as talking with an actual person since by design it can't comprehend its input or output.

However it will be close enough to be a learning experience. Learning a language in class has the same problem that it can't replace communicating with actual people other than the teacher.
