How your answer gets corrected

This is the real interface, not a mockup — the same block you get after a mock test. Example taken from a real graded answer.

あなたの発話

I am a morning person because I always get up early and I feel productive in the morning.

今日から使える

I'm definitely a morning person because I always get up early and feel really productive during the morning hours.

目標

I'd say I'm a morning person through and through — getting up early gives me a real productivity boost that lasts the whole morning.

thêm 'through and through' — nhấn mạnh tự nhiên hơn
'productivity boost' thay 'feel productive' — collocation mạnh hơn

Where your pronunciation slipped, and how to say it

However, I had to choose one, I would go with my time management skill.

こう発音します

however — nghe gần như mất âm, chỉ còn vài âm rời rạc→however — /haʊˈevər/, bật rõ /h/ ở đầu và giữ nguyên âm đôi /aʊ/

skill — nghe thành 'SKUs', mất âm cuối /l/→skill — /skɪl/, kết thúc bằng cách đặt lưỡi chạm vòm miệng trên rồi mới thả hơi

The original sentence is kept verbatim, errors included. Pronunciation is measured at phoneme level, so it names the exact word that slipped.

Every engine version is measured against certified examiners and real exam results. Your score is explainable — we show which numbers produced that band instead of saying "the AI thinks so".

Not just grading — teaching

After scoring you get a roadmap: pronunciation drills built from your own errors, dictation practice, and vocabulary gap-fills on the topics currently being tested.
