A language learning computer system is proposed which allows students to
learn a foreign language as naturally as a baby learns its mother tongue.
The computer system has a CPU which is programmed to show a first
character as an instructor and a second character as a student on the
display, produce a voice sound from the speaker, and move the first
character corresponding to the voice sound produced from the speaker. If
a student operates the input device corresponding to the movement of the
first character, the CPU moves the second character exactly as the first
character moves. In stage 2, if the student operates the input device
corresponding to the voice sound produced from the speaker, the CPU moves
the second character corresponding to the voice sound produced by the
speaker. In stage 3, if a voice sound picked up by a microphone coincides
with the voice sound produced by the speaker, the CPU moves the second
character corresponding to the voice sound produced by the speaker.
