Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the world of AI tools that will make your English journey feel like a walk in the park, and I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.

AI Tutors Are Your Personal English Learning Sidekick

Personalized Learning, Every Step of the Way

AI tutors customize lessons based on your level. Whether you’re a beginner or aiming for fluency, these tools adapt, so you’re always learning at your pace. The best part? No more boring one-size-fits-all lessons! If you struggle with verb tenses, your AI English tutor will give you extra exercises to improve—tailored just for you.

Accessible Conversation Practice with Your AI Tutor

Want to practice speaking but don’t have a conversation partner? With AI tutors on the Praktika app, you can chat anytime—whether it’s small talk or deeper conversations!

Bonus for Beginners: Use the “Study in Your Native Language” feature (found in your profile). Your tutor will guide you in your native language, making it easier to catch up with material. Tests and exercises will still be in English, so you’re always immersed, but in a way that feels comfortable!

  • Example:
    “Hi Dwayne, how’s the weather today?”
    “It’s sunny and perfect for learning English! How’s the weather in Tokyo?”

This feature makes learning English less stressful and more enjoyable, helping you ease into conversations without feeling overwhelmed. Ready to start speaking confidently? Let’s go!

Easy to Understand, No Judgment

As a Japanese learner, you might find English pronunciation or grammar tricky, but don’t worry! AI tutors are patient and give instant, constructive feedback without any fear of embarrassment.

  • Example: You might mix up the “L” and “R” sounds in words like “light” and “right,” and your AI tutor will gently correct you, making learning stress-free and fun!

Grammar and Vocabulary: AI Tools That Get You Speaking Right

Let’s talk about the boring stuff—grammar and vocabulary. Wait, don’t roll your eyes just yet! With AI-powered tools, learning grammar and building your vocabulary can actually be fun, quick, and tailored to your needs.

Targeted Grammar Practice

AI grammar tools learn your strengths and weaknesses and give you lessons that match your needs. So if you struggle with verb tenses, articles, or prepositions, the Praktika app will focus on those areas and provide practice exercises tailored just for you.

  • If you keep making mistakes with the present perfect tense, the app will suggest more practice sentences like, “I have eaten sushi today.” This targeted practice helps you nail the grammar points that matter most.

Building Vocabulary the Fun Way

Smart Word Suggestions
Forget memorizing long lists of random words! AI tools like Praktika suggest words based on your conversations and your goals. If you’re practicing casual chat, your AI tutor will introduce words like “chill,” “hang out,” and “vibe.” For more professional scenarios, you’ll learn words like “presentation,” “deadline,” and “networking.” It’s all personalized to your learning journey.

  • If you’re talking about weekend plans, your AI tutor might suggest vocabulary such as “weekend,” “plans,” and “get together.”

Using Vocabulary in Context
What’s the point of learning a new word if you don’t know how to use it? Praktika helps you use new vocabulary in real-life scenarios. This means you don’t just learn the word “adventure”—you get to practice it in sentences like, “I’m looking forward to an adventure this weekend!” and “Have you ever been on an adventure?”

  • Instead of just memorizing “delicious,” you get sentences like, “The sushi is delicious” and “This cake is delicious, you should try it!” This context-driven learning helps words stick longer.

AI Tools Help You Speak Like a Native

Pronunciation can be a tough one for Japanese learners—especially when it comes to tricky sounds that don’t exist in Japanese! Luckily, your AI tutor is here to help you speak English clearly and confidently. With the right tools, you’ll be speaking like a native in no time. Let’s dive into how AI tutors can perfect your pronunciation!

Native-Sounding English

Speaking like a native is about more than just saying the right words; it’s about how you say them. The rhythm, stress, and intonation in English can be tricky for Japanese learners, but AI tools focus on these aspects to help you sound smooth and confident.

  • Example: Words like “record” or “permit” change pronunciation depending on whether they’re used as a noun or verb. Your AI tutor will help you get this distinction right!

How AI Can Improve Your Pronunciation

Feedback on Tough Sounds
Japanese speakers often struggle with sounds like “r,” “l,” and “v,” as they don’t exist in Japanese in the same way. AI-powered tools focus on these specific challenges, giving you tailored exercises to perfect each one.

  • No need to wait for feedback from a teacher—Praktika’s AI English tutors are ready whenever you are! Practice English pronunciation at your own pace with real-time corrections. 
  • You might say “three” but pronounce it like “tree.” Your AI tutor will point that out and offer practice words like “thick” or “thanks” to help you perfect the “th” sound.

Repeat as Much as You Need
Repetition is key when it comes to pronunciation, and AI tools let you practice until it feels right. You can repeat a word or sentence as many times as you want, and your AI tutor will be there to guide you through it.

  • If you’re struggling with the word “comfortable,” you can repeat it until you’re saying it correctly, with your AI tutor offering helpful tips along the way.

Learning English Like a Game

Just like in games, AI tools let you level up your English skills step by step. As you master each challenge, you unlock new levels of difficulty and more advanced content, keeping you engaged and motivated.

  • In Praktika, you start with beginner-level lessons and gradually progress to more complex topics. The more you practice, the higher your level and the more rewarding the experience!

Earn Friendship Points and Rewards
Who doesn’t love a good reward? In the Praktika app you can gain friendship points with your favorite tutors. Every time you finish a lesson or conversation practice, you earn points that bring you closer to your AI English tutors.

Daily Challenges to Keep You On Your Toes
AI-powered apps like Praktika challenge you every day with bite-sized activities that keep you on track. These challenges are designed to push you to practice grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Complete a 3-minute Word of the Day lesson with your favorite AI tutor. Learn the meaning of new words and practice using them right away. 

Real-Life Scenarios as Quests
Turn your lessons into mini-adventures with real-life scenarios that feel like quests! AI tools give you the chance to practice English in situations like shopping, ordering food, or asking for directions—perfect for everyday use.

  • You could be given a scenario where you need to order food at a restaurant in English. Your AI tutor guides you through it, and you get rewarded with points when you succeed!
