Inspect the attempt before choosing an activity
Write what you intended to communicate and where the task stopped being clear. Avoid a label such as bad at speaking if you can name the actual turn. The more specific description gives Mocchi useful information for choosing a next activity.
For example, the learner might understand a borrowing request when reading it but fail to recall the verb aloud. Another learner might say it comfortably but misunderstand the reply. The same topic does not make these the same learning problem.

|---|---|---|
| この本を借りてもいいですか。 | Kono hon o karite mo ii desu ka. | May I borrow this book? |
Choose explanation when the meaning is unclear
If you cannot explain what the sentence communicates, begin with meaning and context. Use /explain for the sentence or ask about the specific grammar point. State the situation and compare a short alternative if that helps.
Then make a new example in your own words. Recognizing an explanation is different from applying it. If the new example still changes the intended meaning, request a smaller contrast before adding more vocabulary.
Choose retrieval when a known item disappears
If the meaning is understood but the word will not come to mind, a focused flashcard can give it a clear retrieval target. Use a short context, attempt the answer before revealing it and place the item back in a sentence afterward.
Do not turn the whole conversation into one oversized card. The problem might be one verb or a complete expression. Keep the target small enough that you can tell what you recalled and what still needed support.
Choose interaction when the reply changes the task
Use a suitable AI Sensei conversation when the difficulty is understanding and responding to the other speaker. Prepare through /kaiwa if you need help selecting an appropriate topic. Keep the full written script closed during the exchange.
In the book example, the reply may suggest another day or explain that someone else is using it. Respond to that information rather than repeating the request as if nothing changed.
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 今、友達が読んでいます。 | Ima, tomodachi ga yonde imasu. | A friend is reading it now. |
| では、来週でも大丈夫です。 | Dewa, raishū demo daijōbu desu. | Then next week is fine too. |
Use a small check before expanding the session
After the chosen activity, try another request with a changed object or reply. Ask whether you can communicate the intended meaning and respond appropriately. The new attempt is the check, not the number of features used.
If the difficulty remains, describe what changed and what did not. Mocchi can help narrow the next task. Adding a long reading lesson or another quiz is useful only if it addresses the point still preventing completion.
Let feature access follow the routine you need
A subscription can support repeated practice and additional capabilities, but decide from a routine you can describe. Reading feedback may matter for one goal, while more conversation or review access matters for another.
Compare the current pricing page with the specific work you intend to do. The practical benefit of a connected platform is a clearer path from difficulty to useful practice, with several tools available when the task calls for them.
