The relevance of the research presented in the article is due to the need to con-sider the prospects for using neural networks for preparing the future linguist-translator to solve foreign language communicative problems. The article analyzes the capabilities of the “Twee” neural network for modeling the personality of an op-ponent in a real communicative situation and generating responses according to given parameters, which allow you to fully utilize the real apperceptive base of native Eng-lish speakers, as would happen in a real intercultural dialogue. It is predicted that the scope of application of neural networks will expand, including in the methodological aspect, in terms of training linguists and translators in higher education.
