What is the Ringle AI Speaking Partner?
Everyone knows that practicing speaking English daily is crucial for improving proficiency, but it's often challenging to implement consistently. Moreover, many Ringle customers have felt anxious about booking one-on-one sessions with native speakers and tend to procrastinate preparing for these lessons.
The Ringle AI Speaking Partner was created based on customer feedback, serving as a "topic-based English speaking partner." It helps you practice thinking and speaking in English in preparation for one-on-one video English lessons, thus increasing your total speaking volume and enriching your interactions with native speakers.
Especially, the AI Speaking Partner facilitates regular English speaking practice of 10-20 minutes daily through the Ringle app, helping you maintain and enhance your speaking skills.
Practice Speaking Before and After Your 1:1 Lessons with the AI Speaking Partner
The AI Speaking Partner serves as an English learning companion that helps you prepare for and review after your Ringle 1:1 video English lessons.
To utilize this tool, you must have a scheduled 1:1 lesson or have completed lessons since it integrates the chosen lesson materials and content in its dialogues.
During your lesson preparation, you can engage in dialogues with the AI Speaking Partner using the selected materials and their questions to formulate your thoughts and verbal responses in English. This practice helps reduce pre-lesson anxiety and allows you to pre-plan the content you wish to discuss. Additionally, you can request the AI to refine your sentences, helping you learn more structured expressions.
For the review process, the AI Speaking Partner enables you to revisit and practice specific parts of your conversation based on the Ringle AI's analysis of your 1:1 lesson. It aids in perfecting your responses, especially in parts you might not have answered well during the 1:1 session or where the tutor provided corrections, ensuring you fully assimilate the lesson content.

How to Perfectly Prepare for Your Lesson with Ringle AI Speaking Partner
Tip 1: Prepare Topics to Discuss in English
Many people think they struggle with English due to poor grammar or vocabulary. However, more often, the real challenge is not knowing what to talk about. While light topics like the weather or K-pop might be manageable with native speakers, deeper or unexpected topics can cause you to stall. This usually happens because you havenโt prepared enough varied "material" or content in English in your mind.
Use the Ringle AI Speaking Partner as your partner in preparing diverse topics for conversation. The AI Speaking Partner not only helps you pre-think answers to various questions but also allows you to check sample responses, helping you decide what might be best to discuss.
This preparation can enrich the content of your conversations during one-on-one English lessons with native speakers, leading to more engaging and effective sessions.
Tip 2: Review and Refine Your English Responses
The Ringle AI Speaking Partner is designed to succinctly summarize your responses into one or two sentences for review. This feature is particularly useful if you tend to hesitate or use many filler words, as it allows you to see a more polished version of your answers.
By reviewing these condensed responses, you can practice speaking English more concisely and logically. This not only helps you communicate more effectively but also minimizes the time spent on basic corrections during one-on-one video English lessons with native speakers, making those sessions more efficient and focused.
Customer Review of AI Speaking Partner
Despite having completed over 50 one-on-one video English lessons, I still found myself getting sweaty palms just thinking about speaking with a native speaker before each session. However, just spending about 10 minutes talking to the AI Speaking Partner once or twice before the lessons made a noticeable difference in reducing my nervousness.
Particularly, practicing the topics I was going to discuss in class with the AI Speaking Partner beforehand helped immensely. By verbalizing my thoughts in advance, I was able to reduce hesitations and smooth out my delivery during the actual sessions with native speakers. This practice made me feel significantly more fluent and confident.
The AI Speaking Partner's biggest benefit seems to be its ability to ensure that one-on-one lessons with native speakers are worthwhile. Previously, if I stumbled during these lessons, failing to speak properly or frequently receiving corrections, I'd feel like the money was not well spent.
However, by interacting with the AI Speaking Partner beforehand, I'm able to plan and practice what I'll discuss in the session. This preparation significantly enriches the density of the actual one-on-one lessons.
Given that each lesson costs between 30,000 to 40,000 KRW, which is not a trivial amount, the enhanced quality of these sessions makes me feel that the expense is justified and that I am truly improving my English skills.
