No, though it has a chatbot element.
Mostly it just has good content to read and do complete-the-sentence exercises. It’s good if you studied vocabulary and want exposure to real dialogue.

>Dziś w gospodzie jest wielu ludzi.
Powinno być wiele ludzi.
>Prawie nie ma już soli
Wouldn't a better translation be "sól mi się kończy"?

책이 빨간색이다
개가 달린다
그 사람이 키가 크다

소년이 달리고 있다
어제 피아노를 쳤다
오늘 여관에는 사람이 많다

존은 요리 시도할 때마다 무언가를 태운다
소금이 거의 다 떨어져서 더 사야 된다
젊은이가 오늘 밤 집안 청소해야 한다

Powinno być "wielu ludzi". Dobrze napisał
I agree with the second suggestion, you can even drop "mi", but the Canadian translation is still ok.

Mi się wydaje że powinno być wiele ludzi.
Z google: "Wiele ludzi" odnosi się do nieokreślonej liczby osób, często postrzeganych jako masa lub tłum. "Wielu ludzi" sugeruje bardziej konkretną grupę, podkreślając ich podmiotowość

Italian was created by scholars. Nobody spoke it. People used Latin or their dialect

Wielu ludzi, bo ludzi to rodzaj męskoosobowy. Tak mi się wydaje. W "wiele ludzi" wiele to przysłówek (jak gdzie kiedy ile) plus celownik. W "wielu ludzi" to zaimek w celowniku plus celownik. Więc obie formy są chyba poprawne. Ale wiele ludzi jakoś nienaturalnie mi brzmiało

hmm i guess it's hard to define that, but i personally think some languages look really good when they're written. what defines polish orthography is the prominent use of digraphs, and, in comparison to other slavic languages, using w instead of v. i think generally it's pleasing to look at, but can't really tell you why.

What makes w cooler than v? Why do digraphs matter? English makes gratuitous use of digraphs - more digraphs than Polish, in fact.

well obviously polish digraphs look different from english ones because so many of them feature z (which i think is the most common letter in polish, maybe, not sure), and i find that to be pretty. i guess i just like how that language is spelt
