The highlights of ELSA you might consider are:
Accurate: Many language centers focus on writing and grammar, but often give little attention to speaking. ELSA’s sole focus is on forming a strong foundation and understanding of the American pronunciation & speech patterns, thereby significantly improving your articulation and diction. ELSA’s A.I evaluates your pronunciations with the highest accuracy, identifies any errors made, and provides advice to correct them.
Each person will have their own effective way of learning. However, here are the methods that are considered to be the most effective in optimizing ELSA’s A.I. technology:
In addition, you may watch our ELSA tutorial video over HERE.
To be able to hear ELSA’s pronunciation clearly and record your voice accurately, users are advised to practice in the following conditions:
For iOS devices: The “You are here” arrow will point to the planet where you completed your last lesson
This helps you easily continue the lessons from where you last left off in ELSA!
In addition, to go back to the personalized schedule that ELSA has set before, please click the “Next” lesson button in the blue bar below the planets!
For Android devices: The arrow and the “Next” lesson button will both send you to the next lesson recommended by your customized lesson plan.
Currently, there are two learning modes for pronunciation and conversation lessons.
For Regular Mode: ELSA’s scoring system will be based on the accuracy of the underlined sound to guide learners to practice specific sounds and groups of sounds.
For Advanced Mode: The grading system will analyze and evaluate your entire pronunciation of the word(s) so that students can identify which part of the word was mispronounced.
Currently, for pronunciation and conversation lessons, there are two learning modes for users: Regular and Advanced
For Regular Mode: This might be happening because ELSA’s Regular mode only evaluates the underlined part of the exercise to guide learners to practice that specific sound. As such, any mispronunciations in other parts of the exercise will be ignored and you will receive “Excellent” for your practice.
To get more advanced feedback from ELSA, please switch to Advanced Mode.
For Advanced Mode: ELSA will evaluate your pronunciation for the entire exercise so that you can identify which part of the word is not pronounced correctly and make the appropriate corrections to your pronunciation.
As of now, you can check the pronunciation using the ELSA dictionary for a short paragraph of about 50 characters at a time. ELSA will guide you on how to pronounce the word(s), provide the IPA transcriptions, and meaning (based on the Mother Tongue in your app settings). Please be reminded that searching beyond the character limit will result in the search being cut off.
You only need to go to Profile → Learning & Sound settings → Turn on “Daily reminders” → ELSA will send notifications (like Facebook notifications) to you daily at the time you choose to remind you to study. This way, ELSA can help you study regularly and make better progress.
Go to Profile → Edit Your Profile → Language Display → Select your preferred language → Change the display language successfully.
Currently, we offer the following language options:
ELSA has improved the calculation system for grading and reflecting errors to users more accurately. Specifically, with this adjustment, you can compare the results of the lessons with your friends to see the difference in the scores. We hope that these new changes will encourage you to continue challenging yourself and improve your pronunciation with ELSA. Please be assured that ELSA takes user feedback very seriously so that we can make every effort to make ELSA’s grading algorithms more and more accurately, providing the best learning experience and efficiency.
Assessment Test
As you start out with ELSA, you will be prompted to take an assessment test to evaluate your current English proficiency level based on your strengths and areas for improvement in your pronunciation. A customized lesson plan will then be created just for you. While you do not have to follow it strictly, I highly recommend using your customized lesson plan.
In particular, we offer the Triangular feature. Here you can get a better grasp of which part needs to be worked on after taking the Assessment Test (pronunciation, fluency, and intonation) instead of just showing the scores. Moreover, it also predicts your IELTS speaking score and the detailed score in each phoneme.
Lesson Topics
Our lessons are categorized into different skills so that users can learn each skill separately and at their own pace. You can also learn skills by common topics such as Movies, Entertainment, Business, just to name a few. The aim of this is to train users to use words/phrases commonly used by native English speakers and help users form a habit of using good grammar and sentence structure.
Advanced Mode
After completing each lesson, a report will be generated to show you the accuracy of your pronunciations and how you can improve your sound. Enjoy instant feedback from ELSA, correct your mistakes quickly, and become a step closer to speaking English fluently like a native speaker! Should you wish to be assessed for the entire word/phrase, please click on the “Advanced” option at the top of the page.
Dictionary
In addition to all the features listed above, we have a dictionary feature, where you are able to search up any English word, and ELSA will teach you how to pronounce it and is able to assess you immediately.
Pentagon Feature
We also offer the Pentagon feature. Here you can get a better grasp of which part needs to be worked on (pronunciation, listening, etc.) instead of just showing the scores.
1. If you have taken the Assessment test:
2. If you have not done the Assessment test:
The coach feature: Consider this as your private coach who provides you 5 lessons per day and also summarizes your performance of that day.
In the dictionary, on the top of the screen, you will find the Study Sets tab. Here, you can create your own Study Set (word list) or take on other Trending Study Sets.
Community Leaderboard
For iOS users, we also offer the Community feature (the 5th icon from the right at the bottom of the page). Here, you can choose to Create Community of your own or join other communities. Should you wish to leave a community, tap on the “…” icon then Leave Community.
When you are in a community, you can compare the number of stars that you have with other users and compete to get to the 1st position.
According to linguistic experts, the proper pronunciation is the foundation of language-learning. As such, users who have just started the language would find ELSA especially useful to start off their English-learning on the right foot. Up to 80% of English learners focus on their grammar and are fairly good at it but their pronunciation is not standard so communication with native speakers remains a huge fear and issue among learners.
In addition, ELSA lessons are divided into levels from easy to difficult; There are a variety of topics and fields so you can study freely with ELSA, regardless of your starting level!
In the case where you have never spoken English before, we recommend taking some basic grammar classes and studying simultaneously with the ELSA app to work on your pronunciation.
This will depend on your starting English proficiency level, practice time with ELSA, frequency of your usage (i.e. how often you practice with ELSA). We highly recommend sparing at least 10 minutes a day to practice and review lessons to get the best effect in improving your pronunciation.
Typically, our users show good progress after 4-6 weeks (for those who practice 1-2 hours a day). On the other hand, we find that if you practice 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you will see significant improvement after only 3-4 months. This doesn’t mean you’ll be able to speak as well as Americans right away (language-learning is a long journey after all), but our data shows that you’ll make significant progress in your articulation.
ELSA Speak is an English speaking and communication app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and provide automated feedback to users. Therefore, there won’t be any online classes or exchanges with native speakers/teachers offline! However, rest assured as ELSA is able to give advanced feedback to correct any mispronunciations you make!
Currently, ELSA has over +1500 lessons (with more than 6,000 practice exercises) and almost 50 topics.
ELSA updates new content every 2 weeks to 4 weeks (the schedule will vary depending on the time of the year). New topics will be labeled “NEW” in the left corner. Do log in regularly and check the “Topics” section to follow more newly-updated topics.
ELSA’s mission is to help all people speak foreign languages with confidence, which will help people to have a better life and better career opportunities. However, at the moment, ELSA is focusing on developing its English-learning service and may develop lessons for other languages in the future.
After completing the lessons in the Skills/Topics page, you can continue your learning through the following method:
ELSA will update new content every 2 to 4 weeks (the schedule will vary depending on the stage). New topics will be labeled “NEW” in the left corner and you may go to the “Topics” section to stay up to date with the newest content!
When you reset the learning progress, all of your lesson histories will be deleted and you may relearn all your lessons.
To reset progress: Go to Profile → General Settings → select “Reset progress all lesson” → Agree.
