The primary goal of 英しゃべ is to enhance users' 'listening margin,' which is the capacity to understand spoken English. It achieves this by allowing users to repeatedly listen to and repeat English conversations at various speeds.
英しゃべ includes a 'Speed Shadowing' feature that automatically pauses after English dialogue, giving users time to repeat what they heard. The pause duration can be adjusted to match the user's progress, allowing for gradual training in speaking faster.
The description mentions background playback support, which allows for repeated listening even when the iPhone is in a pocket. However, it does not explicitly state offline playback capabilities. Continuous internet access may be required for full functionality.
The free version of 英しゃべ allows access to the first three episodes, displays advertisements, and limits learning sessions to 10 minutes at a time, with a 2-hour cooldown before another 10-minute session. Full functionality requires an in-app purchase.
英しゃべ features a 'Dashboard' that records daily learning history. This allows users to monitor their progress and maintain consistency, which is emphasized as crucial for effective learning.
The 'Smart Speed' feature allows users to adjust the playback speed of English conversations from super slow to 3x speed. This helps users clearly discern pronunciation at slower speeds and gradually adapt to faster native speech.
While 英しゃべ includes interactive 'Touch & Swipe' tests to gauge learning outcomes and aims for an 'S rank,' it does not mention offering formal certifications or recognized language proficiency assessments.
The app was last updated on December 21, 2018, to version 1.1.1. This indicates a less frequent update cycle compared to some other educational apps.
