Through Pronunciation Assessment, Shadowing Practice, Repeat Practice, AI Tutor Chat, and Online Reading, you can listen to your own voice and work toward speaking Japanese more naturally and clearly.

Key Features ■ Pronunciation Assessment Record your voice while reading a reference text and review your pronunciation.
