Language Learning Apparatus, Language Learning Aiding Method, Program, and Recording Medium

摘要

There is provided a language learning apparatus, which includes an inputting portion to which a voice signal is input, a time stretching portion which compresses or expands the voice signal in a time axis direction such that a phonation period of a voice indicated by the voice signal input into the inputting portion is matched with a phonation period of a model voice, a specifying portion which compares the voice signal which is compressed or expanded by the time stretching portion with a voice signal indicating the model voice to specify a different part between the both voice signals, a signal processing portion which applies a signal processing of emphasizing the different part specified by the specifying portion to one of the voice signal input into the inputting portion and the voice signal indicating the model voice, and an outputting portion which outputs a voice signal to which the signal processing is applied by the signal processing portion.
