The learning language provided by the language learning service providing apparatus 100 is a language that the user wants to learn, and may include, for example, English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, and the type of learning language is not limited.

According to an embodiment, in block 202, the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may provide a learning character generated using the shape of a plurality of letters constituting a word provided in the selected learning language. According to one disclosure, the words provided by the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service are pre-selected words for language learning, and may include all previously registered words.

Here, the letters constituting the word represent each letter constituting the word, such as the alphabet, Hangul, and Chinese characters. For example, the English word “MONKEY” is composed of six English letters M, O, N, K, E, and Y.

According to an embodiment, in block 203 , the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may determine whether the first area includes the first character in response to a user input for selecting the first area of the learning character. For example, when the letter e is displayed on the ear of the monkey character, the ear region of the monkey character including e becomes the first area.

4 is a view for explaining the characteristics of providing a learning character according to one disclosure.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , when the user selects the forehead of the monkey character ( 401 ), the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may check whether there is a character in the forehead area of the monkey character. In FIG. 4 , the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may identify the letter k in the forehead area 401 .

According to an embodiment, in block 204 , the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may display an answer message according to whether the first character included in the first area is correct or not. Here, the correct answer may be determined according to a predetermined learning condition. More specifically, let's take an example of learning to find the English word “MONKEY” related to the monkey character. If the predetermined learning condition is to find the MONKEY in order, if the English letters are not found in order, the user may receive an incorrect answer message even if the English letters are found in the character. However, if the learning condition was to simply find all the English characters included in the character, the user can achieve the learning condition only by finding the English characters included in the character.

According to one disclosure, the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service includes the steps of determining a word related to a learning character in order to provide a learning character, and expressing a part of the appearance of the learning character using a plurality of characters constituting the determined word. step, dividing the learning character into a plurality of regions each including a plurality of characters, and when a user input approaching the first region among the plurality of regions is detected, the color of the first character included in the first region or Steps can be provided to change the shape to display.

The user input for accessing the first area according to the disclosure may include hovering, click, touch, drawing, voice input, input through a keyboard, motion input, and the like, and the user input is not limited.

According to one disclosure, the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service, after receiving the user's input of the nth input rank, generates a correct answer message when the nth character is included in the first area, and the nth character is not included. In this case, an incorrect response message may be generated. More specifically, when the language learning service providing apparatus 100 needs to acquire the fourth input from the user, it must acquire K among MONKEYs. However, when the character located in the first area selected by the user is Y, an incorrect answer message may be generated and transmitted to the user.

According to one disclosure, the apparatus 100 for providing a language learning service may receive a user input for inputting a second character using the shape of a learning character. Here, the second character is not a character included at the time of creation of the learning character, but indicates a character newly input by the user.
