Nao Now’s Levels
Our classes are based on learning levels from very beginner to advanced. Learn the foundations of the English language. Speaking, Reading, and Writing skills developed with your mentor while learning about meaningful cultural topics designed to help students immerse themselves and “think” in English.
Our Results Have Spoken:
We use automatic speech recognition (ASR) AI technology to measure student progress in fluency throughout the duration of a Nao Now package. ASR enables us to transcribe the student’s speech, converting it into text. This text is then compared to native English speaker pronunciation models to assess aspects such as phonemes, stress patterns, and intonation.
