The new website is just so awful. I can't use this. It is clunky and the interface has all of the intuition of Snapchat. No, I am not learning English. It took several attempts to get it to understand that. I am learning Arabic and Spanish. I put in Arabic. Then I tried to put in Spanish. Would you have it, Spanish is not one of the languages available in the horrible drop-down menu? Anyway, there are too many things going on on the page and it is impossible to use. I hate it.

iTalki is a calendar service with an in-built teach catalogue. That all it is, and all it should ever be. While the old design had it's flaws, it at least tried to support iTalki's only two functions. A big list of teachers and a convenient way to book lesson. The new design spectacularly fails at both. The % of the dash board screen that is assigned to my upcoming calendar is TINY. Instead when you log in it defaults you to an almost full screen chat window taking up 90% of the screen space when a budget LLM will not stop messaging you with garbage. The "Let's get a useless LLM to regurgitate platitudes at users each time they log in and not let them turn it off ever" is sooo bad and off-putting. Should you use most of the screen space to show me upcoming bookings? You know, the entire reason I use iTalki? No, of course not, we'll shoe horn in a terrible LLM that provides no value and hide your bookings in a tiny panel on the left ... because our intern saw discord and decided the "calendar bookings are just like discord servers am I right?" and somehow that got approved. It in no way helps me see upcoming bookings clearly at all, purchased lesson packages are also way more obscure , and it certainly doesn't help me find teachers - so the new layout actively makes the site far worse to use for it's only actual functions. Why is the calendar now gone to it's own little tab hidden inside a `...` menu option instead of being the main dashboard page? Why can't I book lessons via the calendar page? Isn't booking lessons the ENTIRE POINT OF THE SITE? Just be a really good calendar app and teach catalogue again please. I don't care about the AI or the fish at all, they can exist if they must, but the fact the main reason to spend money on the site has been so severely gutted is just a tragedy.
