英しるべ

Expand your world with English.

Eigo Shirube is an app designed to help you use English a little bit every day, starting with topics you enjoy.

■ See, Think, and Speak English
The microphone turns on when a Japanese question appears. The time limit is 10 seconds for Easy and 5 seconds for Hard. Input your English answer by voice, check the recognition result, and get scored. It automatically assesses meaning and grammar, and displays a short explanation and example. Choose your favorite topic and level from 3,000 original sentences.

Your recorded answer is transcribed by OpenAI. You can correct your answer by starting over or continuing from where you left off. You can check comments on pronunciation and intonation based on your recording. These comments are AI-generated guidelines and do not contribute to scoring.

■ Read Your Favorite Topics in English
Read recent events in English from "My Topics." Articles of 250-350 words include the source, publication date, and 3 multiple-choice questions. Because AI-generated learning articles may contain errors, please check the source for important information.

■ Discover the World Through Videos
Watch new videos from your favorite YouTube channels using the official player. It automatically retrieves publicly available English subtitles and prepares 5 multiple-choice questions based on the spoken content. No subtitle file selection is required. If a video lacks subtitles or has retrieval restrictions, the reason will be displayed, allowing you to continue watching the video.

■ Review with the Vocabulary Notebook
Save words you're interested in, along with their meanings and example sentences. Review words gradually as it's time for revisiting them.

■ Today's Recommendations
Access to Speaking, News, and Videos. You can resume from where you left off, according to your learning progress.

■ Daily Free Access
10 Speaking (English Translation) questions, 1 new news article, 1 video quiz, 1 Japanese translation of an article, and 5 translations of video scenes per day. Usage days are divided by Japan Standard Time. Viewing saved news articles does not count towards the number of new content generated.

This ad-free app allows you to use up to 500 spoken (English translation) questions, 50 new news articles, 50 video quizzes, 14 Japanese translations of articles, 70 video scene translations, and 50 AI commentaries per week. The weekly limit resets every Monday at midnight (Japan time). If a free trial is available, the terms and conditions will be displayed at the time of purchase. Please check the terms and conditions and payment price on the store's purchase confirmation screen. If a free trial is available, it will automatically renew after the trial ends with the selected plan's duration and price. To cancel, please manage your subscription through the store where you purchased it. Deleting the app will not cancel your subscription.

Learning data is saved on your device. It can be exported and restored in JSON format, and user registration is not required. Internet connection is required for audio transcription, answer meaning/grammar judgment, news generation, AI commentary, video quizzes, and video viewing. The judgment of matching the example answer is performed on the device. New content generation may be stopped due to insufficient evidence, external service failures, or limits on the operating budget. Saved materials can still be used.
