The tool, called Speaking Practice, is an AI-powered language learning app that helps users improve their speaking skills in over 20 languages. It achieves this by starting a conversation with the user based on a topic from their Twitter followings, then encouraging them to discuss the topic with the AI by giving long answers for better practice. The app aims to help users overcome the last-mile problem in mastering a foreign language, where they are unable to quickly find the right words to express themselves, especially in group conversations. To achieve its goal, Speaking Practice utilizes Twitter topics to provide users with a source of hot topics in short form, which are already customized to their specific interests. Discussions require not only a basic knowledge of the language but also the ability to make a convincing argument, articulate one’s point of view, and recall the right set of terms and words. Therefore, the app also focuses on advanced-level language practice. The app comes with features such as grammar improvements, voice recognition, and the ability to train difficult words and phrases. These features help users to learn and practice speaking skills with ease. Additionally, the app gamifies the learning process, encouraging users to practice every day for at least 15 minutes to collect all the stars. Overall, Speaking Practice is a useful tool for anyone looking to improve their speaking skills in a foreign language.
