Building Confident Speakers with an Adaptive AI Partner
*Transforming language learning from stressful memorization to confident, real-world practice resulting in a 40% increase in daily practice and 85% of users reporting higher speaking confidence.*
Quote from User Testing: "It feels like texting a friend who's helping you learn. I'm not scared to try because the AI doesn't judge me
Problem
Traditional apps teach vocabulary and grammar but fail to build the confidence needed for real conversation. Learners often freeze when faced with an actual person, despite "knowing" the words.
User Interview Insight: "I’ve used flashcards for months, but the second a native speaker asks me a question, my mind goes blank. I need a safe space to practice without feeling embarrassed.” - user Interview
Fear of Judgment: Users avoided practicing speaking due to anxiety.
Lack of Realistic Context: Memorizing words isolated from conversation led to poor retention.
Passive Learning: Existing tools focused on typing and tapping, not active speaking.
