Demonstration & School Case Study

Chinese Y.M.C.A. Primary School
Ms. Lai Wing Hung, English Panel Chairperson

“With the help from MyAIBuddy and Metalingua platforms, students can improve their speaking skills and motivation, it is also less threatening because they get to speak to AI instead of a real person. I think MyAIBuddy can definitely benefit our students!”

Chinese Y.M.C.A. College
Mr. Chau, English Panel Chairperson

“MyAIBuddy is really useful in improving students’ English proficiency, students can talk to their AI Buddy, they do not feel stressed, especially for those students who may not be confident in using English with their peers and teachers. MyAIBuddy is especially useful as it has content of different levels of difficulty to cater for our learners’ diversity.”

Marcus, Student

“I can learn English the whole day, and MyAIBuddy can give me instant feedback. It also gives me a non-judgmental environment to learn English so that I can be more confident when I speak.”
