Speak Japanese Like Parrot -PC用

1. When I started to study Portuguese after reflecting the experience when I could not make myself understood in English, I concentrated in watching Portuguese videos and tried to learn words and phrases after I had learned basic words.

2. In Speak Japanese Like Parrot, the words are pronounced with almost the same accent used by Japanese using the TEXT TO SPEECH function.

3. Then, Speak Japanese Like Parrot hears your pronounced words by its VOICE RECOGNITION function.

4. If the VOICE RECOGNITION recognizes the words you have pronounced and those the TEXT TO SPEECH has pronounced are the same, you will be judged to have pronounced the words successfully as Japanese pronounce them.

5. So, this application software Speak Japanese Like Parrot is designed by its specification in which you listen to the voice and pronounce after it, and the meaning is displayed after the pronunciation is applicable.

6. I got all A’s in English when I was at school, but I had many experiences of hardship in understanding such simple phrases by listening as “what is the (reservation) date?”, “you can pass through”, and “the price of the merchandise is 12 dollars” when I actually travelled in the countries of the English-speaking regions of the world.

7. As I said above, I think it is a most efficient and practical way "to learn a foreign language by listening and speaking first and then study the grammar" from my own experience.

8. You will regrettably learn the language with the accent of your own if you learn the language by memorizing the written words.

11. Please listen to the read words and pronounce as you think it is heard.
