AI Spica provides everything in one place: personalized English speaking practice through real-life conversations with AI, instant feedback, and learning analytics. Based on immersive role-playing that reflects over 500 real-world scenarios-including daily life, business, culture, public services, and social relationships-users can train their English speaking skills in situations similar to real life. All topics are available for a monthly fee of 5,900 won.

The speaking learning process is organized into a four-step, all-in-one structure: selecting a topic, warm-up preparation, real-life conversation with AI, and a results report. Through this step-by-step flow, learners can understand their roles and the context in advance, participate in practical conversations, and then review their progress with an analytical report based on the conversation. The entire process is designed to take around 10 minutes, enabling even those with limited time to study efficiently.

A YBM Online Lectures representative said, "We hope learners will shine in their speaking skills by gaining real conversational experience through more than 500 different situational dialogues."
