Fluency Tool is designed for language enthusiasts aiming to enhance their spoken Japanese fluency. Emphasizing high-volume speaking output, rapid production, self-awareness of speaking skills, and muscle memory development for second language fluency, this tool provides an immersive learning experience.

Language Proficiency and Hiragana

To optimize your experience, learners are expected to have foundational proficiency in Japanese and be able to read the Hiragana alphabet.

Sentence Settings Section

Take control of your learning journey with customizable settings. Fluency Tool intelligently groups phrases by difficulty (vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure) aligned with general proficiency levels and the CEFR scale. Increasing sentence length within a proficiency level offers a personalized challenge, enabling enhanced fluency using familiar vocabulary and grammar constructs. Adjust sentence length and spoken speed to tailor the challenge level. The speed setting allows modulation of spoken speed relative to native speed (1.0 equals native speed). For instance, setting the speed to 0.6 slows down speech to 60% of native speed, facilitating better understanding. The Next Sentence button triggers an automated reading and recording sequence, optimizing spoken language production and learning efficiency.

The Fluency Tool Speaking Cycle Section

When a new sentence is introduced, a three-part cycle begins:

1. Audio reading of the sentence in Japanese.
2. The recorder automatically initiates, and the learner repeats the sentence they just heard.
3. The recorder automatically stops, and the recording is played back to the user to compare against the Japanese reading.

Phonetics and Additional Features Section

Experience enhanced interactivity. A quick tap on the main Japanese sentence reads the word aloud. A long press on a word unlocks additional functionalities, including adding cards to Anki and translating the selection.

Embark on your journey to enhance spoken Japanese fluency with Fluency Tool. This immersive language learning experience is crafted for enthusiasts seeking rapid improvement. Through high-volume speaking output, self-awareness development, and muscle memory reinforcement, Fluency Tool provides a unique and effective approach to language acquisition.
