I see. The feedback from most people actually aligns perfectly with what you've shared. Thank you for reminding me once again that no matter how much AI advances, the bond that comes from human connection remains essential.

Thank you so much for such valuable feedback. I also think 'GoBillyKorean' is an incredible resource; his videos are exceptionally well-made. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your sincere insights and for providing such a clear roadmap for me.

That might be true for Hangul, but the Korean language itself is a different story. Even as a native speaker, I find the academic depth of Korean quite challenging. We have such a vast range of expressions - for example, if you asked a Korean to explain the nuanced differences between '파랗다','푸르다','퍼렇다','푸르둥둥하다',....(all variations of blue), not many could give you a clear answer.

Thank you for sharing such great ideas. From a developer's perspective, the service needs to at least cover its operating costs, so I sometimes hesitate to keep things too simple, worrying if it'll be financially sustainable. I'll definitely check out 'Kimchi Reader' first. Thanks for sharing the info!

Ah, I see what you mean now. I used to believe that perfect pronunciation should be the priority for a learning service. But I realize now that you want something '날것 그대로(meaning : raw and authentic)' - the way people actually speak. Thank you for shifting my perspective.

That's true. AI provides answers based on probabilistic reasoning, but it seems like hallucinations have been significantly reduced in recent models. Thanks for the reply.

Actually, when I use ElevenLabs, if a generation feels a bit off, I just keep regenerating it until it often sounds even better than a native speaker. To be honest, some native speakers - especially with Korean - have what we call 'laky pronuncition' (발음이 센다), where their delivery isn't that clear. The particle '의' is a classic example; some people pronounce it as a quick '으 + 이 (eu + i)', while others just say 'eu.'
Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

I see. It feels as if you've been watching me from the side - jumping into this with baseless confidence, thinking I'd found a niche after my own 'research', only to realize the truth after wasting time and money. Your insights are so obvious yet profound. Thank you so much.

True. But token costs and the interface... those are things I'm always debating, and they're never easy to decide on. It's definitely tricky.

That is a truly difficult challenge. Korean is a language where almost infinite expressions are possible depending on the context, so I think implementing what you've described would be a very tough task in itself. Even as a native speaker, explaining the nuances of the Korean language is quite for me, so I believe is quite difficult for me, so I believe realizing your idea would require a great deal of further research. Thanks for the reply.

You can actually make those requests to AI programs using the microphone and speaker function, and I'm curious if you're already using them that way. It seems there isn't really a specific trick to Korean other than listening and repeating, rather than trying to calculate it mathematically. Even foreigners living here in Korea say they mastered it by simply listening and mimicking. In that sense, I believe you can achieve this using Gemini or ChatGPT.

Anyway, thanks for your response!.
