DodoTalk is for personal / Family / Teaching: practise everyday speaking, or work through vocabulary, listening, and speaking items from exam materials. One account can open different spaces and switch Me / Family / Teaching in the app. Beyond practice, Family and Teaching also offer light messaging (parent–child / teacher–learner). Full school admin and large classes are out of scope.
Two recommended loops:
| You mainly want… | Take this path | In short |
|---|---|---|
| Travel, commute, everyday conversation | Everyday speaking path | Speaking level check → scenario-style plan → speak on Practice → Progress |
| Exam-level vocabulary / listening / speaking items | Exam prep path | Speaking level check → exam prep or single-skills plan → drill on Learn → Progress |
It turns “I want to practise” into a daily step—not a pile of unstructured materials.
Who it’s for
| Who you are | Typical needs |
|---|---|
| Self learner | Everyday speaking, or self-paced exam prep from materials |
| Parent | Practise or prep with children, allocate minutes, proxy-view |
| Teacher | 1:1 / few learners: tasks, plans, pre-class summaries |

What DodoTalk emphasises
- You start the plan: AI plans land under Not started and do not become work to finish until you tap Start.
- Learn shows the schedule; Practice is where you do it: exam prep content lives on Learn; speaking, live pair, and item drills run on Practice. See What Learn shows.
- Children / learners practise on their own: they sign in with ID + PIN, with limited permissions; parents or teachers manage minutes and plans.
- Full capability is in the app: LINE is fine for short speaking bursts; plans, Family, and billing need the Web App. See Browser App and LINE.
