ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting the practice of the mother tongue or a foreign language, with a view to total assimilation thereof, comprises a standard signal generator constituted by a mobile support of sound recordings on which are previously recorded, independently of one another, blocks of phrases or words, expressed in the language to be assimilated by a subject. A reader of these blocks of information emits the standard signals.
An analysis and comparison circuit compares a standard signal and a vocal signal which corresponds to the word pronounced by the user, based on at least one parameter. When the vocal signal is not within a predetermined tolerance of the standard signal, the standard signal is repeated. If the vocal signal is within the tolerance, the next standard signal is generated. In this way, the user repeats each word until he pronounces it correctly.
