SMRTR summary

Frustrated with slow progress and poor retention from $200/month French tutoring, a developer built two AI tools to replace it. The grammar tutor uses spaced repetition to review topics precisely when memory fades, tracking specific errors rather than broad weaknesses. A voice app enables free conversational practice anytime. Total cost: roughly $0.04 per session.
