About "Praktika"
What is Praktika?
Praktika is an app for practicing languages by talking with AI avatar tutors, provided by Praktika.ai Company in the United States. You talk by voice with 3D avatar tutors that each have their own personality and accent, in free conversation or role-plays, and mistakes in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary are corrected on the spot with an explanation.
On the Japanese App Store it is offered as an "AI English conversation app", and the app supports 15 languages including Japanese. You can switch explanations to Japanese and change the speaking speed, which makes it easy to start even for beginners. The official site cites over 30 million learners and a 4.8 rating (1.2M+ ratings).
You can choose among avatar tutors such as Tama, Raven, Skye and Noah. The official site describes them as "caring and supportive friends who remember your context and are always there to boost your motivation".
The tone can be set to "Soft", "Balanced" or "Strict" so the intensity of corrections suits you.

To increase how much you speak along a curriculum, consider Speak; for a Japanese-made app rich in scenario role-plays, スピークバディ (SpeakBuddy); and to score and fix pronunciation sound by sound, ELSA Speak. To learn languages other than English in a game-like way, there is Duolingo.
