Language learners lack conversation practice without expensive live tutors

Intermediate language learners need regular speaking practice but cannot afford live tutors ($25-60/hour) or find conversation partners at their exact level. Group conversation classes have rigid schedules, and free exchange services (Tandem, ConversationExchange) match unmotivated partners, leaving learners unable to practice authentic dialogue consistently.
