Could you build this?
Partial The UI and daily drills are easy to build, but scoring which phoneme gave the speaker away needs speech-recognition and pronunciation-assessment tuning that vibe coding alone won't produce.
What it would actually take: A real version would combine a pronunciation-assessment API (such as Azure's phoneme-level scoring) or a self-hosted model with a web or mobile front end and a spaced-practice curriculum. The hard part is accurate phoneme-level feedback for American and British targets, which needs linguistic expertise, labelled accent data, and testing with real learners.
