● Background | Overcoming "Knowing but Cannot Speak"
Many Japanese language learners face the challenge of having vocabulary and grammar knowledge but being unable to produce words in actual conversation situations.
Especially in communication with non-native Japanese learners, differences in expression nuances, conversation tempos, and cultural premises present significant barriers regardless of country or region.
TalkFun solves this problem by moving away from one-way input and employing an output-centric design tailored to actual conversation scenes.
● Service Features | Experiencing "Used Japanese"
- Situation-based conversation experience: Assumes situations that are easy to encounter in reality, such as business, daily life, and school.
- Interactive video learning: Clickable dictionary, subtitle synchronization, playback speed adjustment, dual subtitles (JP/EN/VI).
- Output-focused understanding check: Quizzes for each video and immediate feedback.
- Design that encourages habituation: Feature expansion through future updates (daily missions, XP, streaks, and other features are scheduled to be added sequentially).
- Web/Mobile Web support: Available anytime, anywhere.
● Key Points of the Official Release (Evolution from Beta)
- UI/UX revamp: Improved smoothness of the first-time experience and ease of operation.
