Sep 30, 2026 Features In preview # Start where you are. Find what to practise. A short, optional starting check leads into workplace scenarios, with one useful focus at a time.
YOUR NEXT WORK CONVERSATION 01 Try your words “Could we try…?”
→ 02 Listen & follow
→ 03 One next focus ✓
From a real situation to one useful next step.
Five starting tasks and four three-round tracks: meetings, manager 1:1s, cross-team work, and email follow-ups. Your own situation stays with you. Review any suggested wording before listening and practising; revisit saved rounds on this device. Preview: AI diagnosis and account archives still need activation. Text-only practice does not assess pronunciation or spoken fluency.
Sep 30, 2026 Features In preview # Listen. Follow. Make it yours. A new listening and speaking loop, with a five-lesson meeting course to help you begin.
Play the built-in lesson audio, slow it down, follow word highlights, or practise one thought at a time. Optional dictation lets you retry missed words. Record and compare with the example, or respond by typing. Finish with one next focus and a real practice record—without a pass/fail score. Preview: microphone quality and word timing still need checks on physical devices. Optional cloud voice and AI suggestions depend on service setup.
Sep 19, 2026 Improvements # A clearer way into practice. Made diagnosis, practice, and the next step easier to find across the learning experience.
Added clearer diagnosis entry points and kept the chosen communication goal throughout practice and reflection. Fixed Back/Forward navigation, oversized text imports, and record-review regressions. Public learning links now sit naturally in the footer.
Guidance in your language. Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and English guidance, with a language choice that follows you between pages.
Keep English practice prompts and your own words intact while reading instructions in your preferred language. Published multilingual learning guides, including meeting-response practice and a learning-tools directory.
A new name. The same personal starting point. Weakness Lab became Own Words: English practice grounded in something you actually want to say.
Introduced the Own Words identity, workplace imagery, and a blue-and-white visual language across the site and app. Made learning evidence more visible: what you tried, what support you used, and what to practise next.
Your practice has a place to stay. Connected account sign-in and personal written-practice records.
Save written attempts to your account and return to them later. Records are scoped to their owner. Kept sample learning evidence separate from personal records, so the demo does not stand in for your progress.
It started with a better question. “What can I actually do with my English—and what should I practise next?” The first Weakness Lab prototype took shape.
Built the first Japanese landing page and a responsive workplace-English practice demo, with Today, Practice, Materials, and Growth views. Explored a learning loop: try a response, inspect the evidence, practise with help, then try again without it. ↳ Every conversation starts somewhere. So did we.
