■ See and Re-listen to Sound Changes
First, listen to the audio, then check the English text and Japanese translation. You can check difficult sound changes such as linking (sound connections), weak forms, and omissions using color coding and explanations, and listen again.
■ Focus on Your Difficulties
Narrow down phrases by difficulty level and sound changes. You can review only "phrases you struggle with" or "only those you've checked." Continue reviewing with spaced repetition tailored to your self-assessment of listening comprehension.
■ Listen During Commutes or Housework
Continuous playback of English, slow audio, and Japanese translation. You can listen in the background, so you don't need to keep looking at the screen. It also supports passive listening to selected phrases.
■ From beginner to advanced, at your own pace
You can progress through the lessons sequentially and resume from where you left off. You can gradually practice by listening to English, then checking the English text, Japanese translation, and pronunciation changes.
