How these signals are calculated

Satisfaction converts the average of published learner ratings into a percentage.

Completed lessons counts recorded calls lasting at least one minute. Short starts under one minute are excluded.

Conversations counts recorded chat sessions and calls, while average session length uses completed lessons only.

Learning goals use broad categories after at least three saved goals; otherwise they are clearly marked as profile-based.

Student Example question

I understand the rules, but I still hesitate when I use Japanese conversation myself.

Haruka Tanaka Teaching response

That is a useful starting point. Give me one short example in your own words. I will correct the most important point, explain the pattern, and then let you try the same idea again with less support.

Haruka connects useful dialogues to kana, kanji components, particles, verb forms, listening cues, politeness levels, and the context behind what is said or left unsaid.
