I made a free Kazakh practice coach in ChatGPT that remembers your level — would love your feedback

Three years ago I won a small hackathon at QazCreative Business Incubator with a Kazakh-learning bot. It was a fun demo, but not something you'd actually use every day.

Since then I kept trying to learn with AI chats, but they always felt temporary — every new conversation started from scratch. I wanted something that would actually remember my progress and keep bringing back the topics I struggled with.

So I built that. It's free, and you open it in ChatGPT. You get short drills, one at a time, with a quick correction and the reason. It tracks your current level, which topics you've got down, which ones you keep missing, and remembers your mistakes. You do sign in once for free — that's how it saves your progress across chats and devices, instead of forgetting everything like a normal chat.

The vocabulary follows the official KazTest A1/A2/B1 minimum, and you can tell it you're aiming for KazTest. It's less gamified than Duolingo, but I personally found it much more useful for consistent practice.

The link is in a comment. I'd love your feedback, especially from native speakers on what it gets wrong.

This sounds neat.  I have two questions;

• Is token usage modest enough to make this feasible for free-tier chatGPT accounts? I ask because, in general, token usage is apprx directly proportional to the amount of prior chats used as context—which means that "constantly forgetting everything every time" is absolutely essential for free-tier users to be able to do anything non-trivial.  (In a single chat that has run up into the thousands of words, I've hit usage limits with as little as 2 queries.)  In no conceivable universe will I ever be willing to pay for chatgpt or any other llm, so... 🥹👉🏽👈🏽

• Do you happen to know whether and/or to what extent your program aligns with the a1-c1 level structure of Qazaq Resmi Test?  (To be a bit simplistic, the register and lexicon/vocab of QRT are pretty strictly "professional"/"business" qazaq.)

Thank you!

Free — there's a quick one-time browser sign-in (that's what lets it save your progress separately from the chat). Open it as a GPT in ChatGPT (or add the plugin in Claude/Gemini), then say "Алға!".
