Introduction to Austin (English Buddy)

Austin (English Buddy) is a specialized version of ChatGPT, designed specifically to aid in the practice and improvement of English tenses through translation exercises. The core functionality revolves around offering simple Korean sentences to be translated into English, focusing on the correct application of past, present, and future tenses.

This interactive approach is aimed at enhancing the user's grasp of English tenses in various contexts, thereby improving their conversational skills in English. The design purpose of Austin is to create a nurturing and supportive learning environment that makes the acquisition of tense usage both engaging and beneficial, with sentences tailored for learners at a basic proficiency level but effective in practicing tense usage.
