AI English learning app "Epop" (operated by EpopSoft Inc.) announced on the 9th that it has launched "Practical Conversation Learning" (beta version), a new feature that addresses the challenge many learners face: "I've studied English, but I can't speak it."
This feature removes the hurdle of "not knowing what to say" by presenting the user with Japanese guidance on what to say beforehand, providing a new learning experience that naturally draws out English utterances.
Unlike conventional AI English conversation tools, the design guides the "content of what to say" itself, aiming to transform learned English knowledge into a usable form for actual conversations.
## Development Background: Solving "Knowing but Not Being Able to Speak"
In English learning, even after mastering vocabulary and grammar, learners often find themselves unable to speak during actual conversations. The reasons cited include "lack of practical speaking experience" and "difficulty in constructing what to say independently."
Epop has, until now, supported foundational speaking skills through a learning design focused on "vocabulary frequently used in conversation." The "Practical Conversation Learning" feature was developed with the goal of connecting this foundational knowledge to the ability to use it in actual conversations.
## Main Features of the New "Practical Conversation Learning"
### 1. Conversation Training with Japanese Guidance on What to Say
Learning progresses in a story format based on situations such as travel, work, and daily life.
Users participate in conversations as characters and construct their own English sentences to speak, based on the Japanese guidance provided.
This helps overcome the state of "having something to say but being unable to express it in English," enabling users to acquire expressive power in a way that closely mimics real conversations.
### 2. Real-time Feedback from AI
