I don’t even care about flirting with women I just want a free app where I can practice speaking my second language with actual people and not some sanitized AI that doesn’t understand context or slang instead of watching cringe youtubers
Like Duolingo/genki or google translate doesn’t really capture おっす. Duolingo probably doesn’t bother with that kind of informal speech. Google just translates it as “hey”, which isn’t wrong, but it’s not really right either. Even deepl just translates it as yo!, which is much closer but still kind of not really it. It’s more like a sup brah kind of thing. Like a really masculine youthful colloquial greeting I guess is the best way to explain it.
Just have your second language be English. I’m practicing it right now. Has to be the easiest language to learn for the sheer amount of English content there is.

Good point, OP should try being born with foreign parents
You have to make sure to dunk on people who natively speak English for being too dumb to learn their language too though
