For
Japanese learners seeking human feedback
Worth noticing
Its sample flags how 「手伝ってあげました」 can sound condescending in an interview, then suggests 「手伝いました」 instead.

Field notes

The test asks users to answer spoken prompts on the spot, then has one native Japanese listener review each recording once. The example feedback explains that 「手伝ってあげました」 may put the speaker’s helpfulness too much in the foreground during an interview, and suggests 「手伝いました」 instead. AUN describes its five levels as informed by CEFR stages, while explicitly saying they are not a certificate or qualification.
