The Buddy System
Active retrieval
Buddy asks students to recall material from previous lessons, ensuring they retain new concepts in long-term memory.
Storytelling
Once upon a time, long ago and far away (or perhaps not so long ago), teachers did not use fancy PowerPoint presentations, overhead projectors, or even chalkboards. They simply shared their knowledge through stories.
Spaced repetition
Spaced repetition is an evidence-based learning technique that is usually performed with flashcards. Newly introduced and more difficult flashcards are shown more frequently, while older and less difficult flashcards are shown less frequently in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect. The use of spaced repetition has been proven to increase the rate of learning.

NATURE
Each lesson is structured to maximize learning outcomes
Warm-up
Buddy engages the child in small talk to build rapport and help them feel comfortable.
Introduction
He introduces new concepts using flashcards, 3D objects, animations, video fragments, and/or sounds. These effects do more than entertain—they reinforce key concepts for later recall.
Practice
The child practices the new concepts through interactive exercises and conversational games.
Application
Buddy asks questions using these concepts in context, allowing kids to demonstrate understanding.
Buddy isn’t just a one-of-a kind educational app. He’s the world’s first AI-based speech therapy tutor.

I like Buddy. It was hard at first but not now. He helps to teach me for example Hello Cat. I love that game.

Teachers use Buddy in classroom and for homework
Some kids are shy about speaking English, especially in class. Buddy helps boost their confidence. I was amazed how some of my students talk to him. It’s like he’s one of their friends.

Giving my students enough speaking practice is a constant challenge. Buddy has been a huge help. He’s become an integral part of my teacher’s toolkit.

Lots of funny animation and cute characters. My kid adores Buddy and Sparkles. And she’s learning so many English words. Thank you so much!
