## How It Works

Choose a passage in your target language and read it aloud at your own pace. NativePal listens to your speech in real time and compares it against native pronunciation patterns. When you're done, you receive a comprehensive breakdown — not just a single score, but granular feedback on every aspect of your speech.

## Pronunciation Scoring

Each vowel and consonant is individually evaluated and scored. You'll see exactly which sounds you're nailing and which ones need more practice. The color-coded results make it easy to spot patterns — maybe your French 'r' is perfect but your nasal vowels need work.

## Prosody Analysis

Speaking a language isn't just about getting the sounds right — it's about the music of the language. NativePal analyzes your stress patterns, rhythm, and intonation to help you move beyond 'textbook' pronunciation and toward natural, flowing speech.

## Fluency & Pacing

Are you speaking too fast? Too slow? Pausing in unnatural places? The fluency analysis tracks your pacing, hesitations, and flow, giving you a clear picture of how smooth your speech sounds to a native listener.
