[Key Features of the "1000-Hour Listening Marathon"]

■ Training to understand English as it is and develop your listening skills!

The goal of the "1000-Hour Listening Marathon" is to enable you to hear and understand English as it is through listening training that balances quality and quantity. Through diverse learning content, you'll hone your ability to understand English directly without translating it into Japanese. You'll also become familiar with the sounds, rhythm, and speed of English, allowing you to adapt to a variety of accents and speaking styles.

■ Improve your four English skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing

The learning content includes a wide range of training, including listening quizzes, pronunciation practice, topic review, and phrase replacement essays. This allows you to hone your speaking, reading, and writing skills as well.

■ A structure designed by language learning professionals to help you maintain your motivation for English learning

We use "STEP learning," which allows anyone to achieve their goals, like climbing a staircase one step at a time. STEP learning is a learning method in which you progress by clearing specific goals, such as "Listen for this expression" or "Find the answer to this question." By setting specific goals, you'll be able to clearly hear even the smallest details of English that were initially difficult to understand.

*The learning process varies depending on the learning material.

STEP 1: Listen to the audio: First, listen to the English audio and get an overview.

↓

STEP 2 Check Expressions: Check whether you can hear key expressions that provide clues to the content of the conversation while listening to the English.

↓

STEP 3 Fill in the Gap: Listen to the audio phrase by phrase and fill in the blanks.

↓

STEP 4 Check Details: Review the English text, word notes, Japanese translation, and explanation to deepen your understanding of the English text.

↓

STEP 5 Pronunciation Practice: AI will assess your pronunciation of words and sentences. Identify and improve your pronunciation weaknesses.

↓

STEP 6 Output Practice: Practice repeating and shadowing. "Being able to pronounce" equals "being able to understand," so doing this thoroughly will improve your listening ability.

■ Experience "Real English"

The audio included in the app spans a wide range of genres, from everyday conversation to business, news, drama, and stories. It includes everything from basic conversations to "real English" that has not been adjusted for teaching purposes or level. This will help you develop the ability to naturally understand a variety of English audio.

■ Unique "1000-Hour Listening Marathon" Content Updated Weekly

Each learning content is called a "series," and there are currently over 15 series available. Content within a series is updated weekly, so you'll never get bored.

■ Aim for 1000 Hours! Record Your Daily Study Time with the App

The time you spend studying English within the app is automatically recorded. You can also record the time you spend studying with English learning materials of your choice, in addition to app study. For example, you can manually enter the time you spent taking English conversation classes, taking English-related exams, watching foreign movies and music, or using English at work, and add it to your 1000-hour goal.

■ Compare Your Progress with Learners Nationwide with Rankings

Weekly and cumulative study time is displayed in rankings. You can see the daily pace of other learners aiming to reach 1000 hours, which will help motivate you to continue your English study.

[About the Series]

"1000-Hour Listening Marathon" consists of learning content (series) tailored to each level and goal, as well as the following two tests.

① Listening Test: HEMHET

The HEMHET (Hearing Marathon Hearing Test) is a mini-test in the format of the TOEIC® listening section that measures your listening ability. You'll attempt a total of 26 questions, and your results will be displayed as a score and level. New questions are released monthly, so try taking the test once a month.

② Dictation Contest

In the "Dictation Contest," you listen to and dictate the monthly English assignments and submit them. After submission, a simplified grading process is performed immediately, allowing you to check the correct answers, your answers, and your level. After the submission deadline, we will analyze your submitted work and announce any "stumbling blocks" identified by our analysis, along with those who performed well.
