How to replicate the entire learning flow for free

This guide shows how to reproduce all three quest types — comprehension, writing, and speaking — using a single free AI chat. One tool replaces the entire paid AI backend.

The tool you need

DeepSeek ChatFree

chat.deepseek.com — a powerful AI chat with no rate limits. Supports system prompts, multi-turn dialogues, and voice input in its mobile app.

The DeepSeek mobile app (iOS and Android) supports speech recognition directly in the input field — tap the microphone icon and speak. This makes speaking quests fully replicable with no additional tools.

The complete quest prompt

Copy this prompt and send it as your first message in a new DeepSeek chat. The AI will ask for your level, quest type, and interests — then run a full practice session.

System prompt
You are an Eng50K language learning trainer. Your job is to run practical English quests for Russian-speaking learners.

When the user writes to you, first ask:
1. Their English level from 1 to 100 (1 = absolute beginner, 100 = native)
2. Which quest type they want:
   A) COMPREHENSION — watch a video and answer questions
   B) WRITING — written conversation with a character in a real scenario
   C) SPEAKING — simulated spoken conversation (write as if speaking aloud)
3. Their interests and language learning goals (optional)

---

QUEST: COMPREHENSION (type A)
Invent a short educational video topic appropriate for the learner's level. Describe what it covers (3–5 sentences in English, as if they were subtitles or a summary). Then ask comprehension questions:
- Level < 40: 2–3 simple factual questions ("What did the speaker say about X?")
- Level 40–70: 3–5 analytical questions ("Why does X happen?", "Compare X and Y")
- Level > 70: 5–7 inference and critical analysis questions

Wait for answers in English. After each answer give brief feedback IN RUSSIAN: what was correct, what can be improved, how to say it more precisely.

---

QUEST: WRITING (type B)
Invent a realistic scenario (job interview, email to a landlord, customer support complaint, client negotiation, etc.). Briefly describe in Russian:
- Who the learner is (their role)
- Who I am (the AI character) — personality, goals, mood
- Context and what needs to be achieved

Start the dialogue first in English. Wait for the learner's reply. Respond IN CHARACTER in English, naturally and realistically. After each learner reply (below your character line) add a block "Feedback:" in Russian: note 1–2 errors if any, praise strong points.

Word limit per learner message: ~[5 + (level / 5) * 5] words.
Required exchanges: level < 20 → 3, < 40 → 4, < 60 → 5, < 80 → 6, otherwise 7.

After the final exchange give an overall assessment in Russian: overall strengths, main errors, advice.

---

QUEST: SPEAKING (type C)
Invent an everyday dialogue (meeting someone in a park, asking for directions, chatting in a shop, calling a clinic, etc.). Describe roles in Russian as in type B.

Start in English. The learner replies in text — treat their reply as spoken speech. IMPORTANT: do NOT criticise missing punctuation or capitalisation — this is a feature of speech recognition software, not the learner's mistake. Only evaluate grammar, vocabulary, and meaning.

After the final exchange give a Russian breakdown of each learner phrase: what they said, what was wrong (if anything), the correct version, alternative phrasings.

---

GENERAL RULES:
- All explanations, feedback, and role descriptions — in RUSSIAN
- All dialogue, video questions, and character lines — in ENGLISH
- Be supportive, never shame the learner for mistakes
- Adapt difficulty to level: level < 30 = short simple phrases; level > 70 = complex vocabulary, slang, idioms
- Vary topics — do not repeat the same scenarios

Speaking Quest

In the app, a speaking quest is a real-time dialogue with an AI character: you speak, the transcript is sent to the model, the model replies, you speak again. The DeepSeek mobile app replicates this with a single button tap.

DeepSeek mobile app — the recommended way for speaking quests. The input field has a microphone icon: tap it, say your line, and the text is automatically inserted. Send it — the AI replies in character. No extra tools needed.
1

Download the DeepSeek mobile app

Free on the App Store and Google Play. On desktop, use chat.deepseek.com.

2

Send the prompt as your first message

Copy the prompt from the section above and send it. DeepSeek will ask your level and quest type — choose C (Speaking).

3

Tap the microphone and speak

In the mobile app, tap the microphone icon in the input field and say your line. The speech is transcribed automatically. On desktop, use system dictation (Win + H on Windows, fn fn on Mac).

4

Send and read the character's reply

The AI responds in character and adds Russian feedback on your line. Repeat the cycle.

5

Receive your breakdown at the end

After the final exchange, DeepSeek automatically breaks down each of your phrases: what you said, what was wrong, the correct version, and alternatives.

Example speaking scenarios:
  • Meeting a new colleague on your first day at work
  • Calling a hotel to make a reservation
  • Talking to a doctor about your symptoms
  • Giving directions to a tourist in your city
  • Interviewing for a role at an international company

Writing Quest

A writing quest is a multi-turn dialogue with an AI character in a realistic scenario, with feedback after every message. Fully replicable via the prompt.

1

Open a new DeepSeek chat

Go to chat.deepseek.com or open the app.

2

Send the prompt and choose type B (Writing)

DeepSeek will invent a scenario, assign roles, and start the dialogue in English.

3

Write your replies in English

After each of your messages, the AI replies in character and adds a Russian feedback block noting errors and praising strengths.

4

Receive your final grade

After the required number of exchanges, DeepSeek breaks character and delivers a structured score: grammar, vocabulary, and communication effectiveness.

Example writing scenarios:
  • Negotiating a project deadline with a manager
  • Resolving a billing dispute with customer support
  • Requesting a reference letter from a professor
  • Responding to a job offer and negotiating salary
  • Coordinating a group trip with friends from different countries

Comprehension Quest

A comprehension quest is an educational video plus questions about its content, graded by AI. DeepSeek can analyse YouTube links directly.

1

Send the prompt and choose type A (Comprehension)

DeepSeek will invent a topic, describe the video content, and ask questions appropriate for your level.

2

Or provide a real YouTube link

Copy a video link and add it to your message:

Watch this video and give me 4 comprehension questions in English, my level is intermediate: [link]
3

Answer the questions in English

DeepSeek checks each answer and provides Russian feedback on whether you understood correctly and what you missed.

4

Receive your final score

After all answers — an overall score out of 100 and personalised recommendations.

How to measure your progress

The most honest way to measure progress is not to look at statistics, but to redo a quest you completed one or two months ago and compare the result. The difference will be tangible even when you can't feel it from the inside.

The "Time Machine" method: save your early answers. After 4–8 weeks, repeat the same scenario under the same conditions — and compare. The progress you don't notice from the inside becomes obvious from the outside.
1

Save your first quest

After your first session, copy the entire dialogue from DeepSeek into a note or document. Write down the date and your level at the time. This is your baseline.

2

After 4–8 weeks, repeat the same scenario

Ask DeepSeek to run a quest with identical conditions: same type (speaking, writing, or comprehension), same topic, same difficulty level. Keeping conditions the same is what makes the comparison fair.

Run a writing quest on the topic "job interview", level 45. Make it the same as the first time.
3

Compare the feedback and error breakdowns

Open both documents side by side. Don't rely on how it felt — look at specifics: how many errors in each, how much longer and more precise your sentences have become, which mistakes from the first session no longer appear.

4

Note what changed

Write down 2–3 concrete observations. For example: "Stopped confusing Past Simple and Present Perfect", "Started using connectors like however, therefore", "Responding faster — fewer pauses in speech". Specific beats general.

5

Repeat every 4–8 weeks

Keep a "Progress" folder and save your quests there. After six months you'll have a personal archive showing how your English evolved from the first awkward phrases to confident, well-formed answers.

What to compare specifically:

  • Number of grammar errors per 10 sentences
  • Average length of your replies (in words)
  • Vocabulary variety — do you repeat the same words
  • Fluency and pace in speaking quests
  • Percentage of correct answers in comprehension quests

Want progress tracking and gamification?

DeepSeek gives you practice, but doesn't count sentences, build levels, or keep a quest history. Eng50K does all of that automatically — plus personalised quests based on your interests and goals.
