@yuxiang_zhu congrats on a really innovative product. Plugins and add-ons to existing experiences can be so powerful when it comes to education because you're augmenting an existing behaviour rather than trying to drive a new one. Best of luck with the launch!

@al_gordon really appreciated

@yuxiang_zhu no problem, drop me a line on LinkedIn I've got a few idea of how to communicate the value prop more succinctly.

As an English major, I'd like to ask what your plans are to upscale this.
Yuxiang Zhu
@tioluwani_akeju I have many ideas for potential features, such as estimating users' English level based on previous answers, allowing users to practice English with texts, incorporating speech recognition so users can speak instead of typing, etc. However, I currently haven’t thought much about the business or marketing aspects.

@yuxiang_zhu I'd utilize Twitter a lot my bro and Reddit.

This is really cool. I will recommend your solution to new employees which do not speak perfect english. It is a fun way to learn. Great idea, you have my upvote. Will you add more languages in the near future?
Yuxiang Zhu
@philippgeppert Wow. that's wonderful. It will be english only in the near future since a lot of the new features that I am planning are language specific and I do not speak languages other than chinese and english

@yuxiang_zhu, incredible work! I'm so excited about this innovative way to engage in English learning. It's such a clever idea to practice English with any Youtube video. I'm sure this is going to be really useful - well done!

Great concept - I think it can be hugely beneficial

Wow I love that this can be applied to any video of my choosing. As a non native English speaker myself, there gets to a point where overall English production and comprehension is fine but we want to develop our conversation and comprehension skills on more niche topics. I’m just imagining this on top of a Ted talk and how awesome that feedback would be & that it can be broken down in Korean too is amazing. Congrats again!! I’m also curious if there are plans for variations of Pact English for other target languages? Thanks!
