## What is KEN→RINGO?
KEN→RINGO is a multilingual AI English conversation coach that automatically learns users' conversation patterns, habits, and mistakes, providing optimized feedback for each individual. It supports 7 languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, French, German, and Japanese, and is available from ¥0 per month (30 minutes free daily). Its unique "habit learning" technology evolves into your personal coach the more you use it, a feature not found in conventional AI English conversation services.
## Key New Features of v3 Update
### 【★New】Character Mode ── English Conversation with 10 AI Characters
You can converse in English with your chosen AI character from 10 distinct personalities: RINGO, Mellow, Liam, Sofia, Kai, Emma, Marco, Mei, Aisha, and Lucas. Engaging in conversations with characters like a music producer from LA, a travel blogger from Barcelona, or a LoFi vocalist from Tokyo, each with their own unique personality, topics, and vocabulary, allows you to polish your English skills from multiple angles without getting bored.
### 【★New】Story Mode ── Experience Puzzles, Adventures, and Romance in English
This is an immersive new mode where you progress through a story in English. You read through stories in three genres—puzzles, adventures, and romance—in English and make choices to unfold the narrative. By engaging with English as entertainment rather than feeling like you're "studying," it is expected to improve learning continuation rates.
