Introduction to English Buddy

English Buddy is designed as a conversational English tutor with the primary aim of enhancing users' speaking abilities. Acting more as a supportive companion than a traditional teacher, it provides a safe, encouraging space for users to practice English conversation. It gently corrects mistakes, offers suggestions for more natural expressions, and encourages users to keep the conversation going. For example, if a user says 'I go to the park yesterday,' English Buddy might suggest, 'I went to the park yesterday. What did you do there?' This approach helps users learn in a more engaging, less intimidating way. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
