Textbook knowledge is not sound control.
You can read the tone marks and still produce a shape Vietnamese ears do not recognize.
Tone calibration · Pre-launch
Đúng Chưa? helps you hear, see, and physically adjust your tone shape — one recording, one correction, one retry at a time.
Deterministic judgment · Biological coaching · Real-world transfer
The problem
Vietnamese pronunciation is not just vocabulary. Tone height, contour, timing, breath, and mouth position change whether locals understand you — even when your vocabulary is correct.
You can read the tone marks and still produce a shape Vietnamese ears do not recognize.
Locals may smile and nod even when they did not understand. You need clearer signal than politeness.
Flashcards and chatbots rarely show your pitch contour or give one physical correction to retry.
The method
No infinite menus. One phrase, one recording, one correction — until the tone shape is clearer.
Listen to the tone shape you are aiming for.
One clear take. No stacking corrections.
Compare your contour to the native trace.
Throat, breath, jaw — not abstract grammar.
Retry with the same phrase until the shape stabilizes.
Record it. See it. Fix it. Repeat it. Use it outside.
Why this is different
Đúng Chưa? is built for tone shape and voice signal — not vocabulary drills dressed up as conversation.
The judgment comes from the sound signal. AI is only used to explain the correction in human language — not to guess whether you passed.
Product preview
Early builds focus on clarity over dashboards. You always get a single coaching direction — never a wall of numbers.
Ready to try the phrase outside or move to the next word.
Lift the end of the syllable — do not push from the throat.
One physical image. Record again when you are ready.
Real-world transfer
The app is designed to help learners move from isolated tone drills to real Vietnamese interactions. Once your tone is stable in practice, the next step is using it outside — ordering coffee, asking directions, saying the word to a real person.
Field feedback may be used carefully in later versions. We do not promise that every stranger will validate you — only that clearer tone shape makes real conversations more likely.

FAQ
Not exactly. The app uses signal-based scoring for pronunciation and AI-assisted explanation for coaching. The pass/fail judgment comes from your voice signal, not from a chatbot guessing.
Not first. It focuses on making the words you already know easier to say correctly.
The first version focuses on a controlled practice deck. Central, northern, and southern support can be expanded carefully as baselines grow.
The app is being tested for real Vietnamese environments, but early practice works best somewhere reasonably quiet.
No. It gives repeatable sound feedback between lessons — not a full curriculum or human relationship.
