Lesson 23 — Handle the Difficult Conversation

🎙 Speaking · B1

Handle the Difficult Conversation

Practise clarification, polite disagreement and compromise.

You'll practice:

  • acknowledging concern
  • asking clarification questions
  • softening disagreement
  • negotiating a next step

How it works

3 parts

  1. Acknowledge, Clarify, Propose

    Listen to the example, then record two short sentences about you.

  2. Disagree Without Escalating

    You and Alex take turns asking and answering — 3 short answers.

  3. Full Difficult Conversation

    A short free conversation: Alex starts, you reply (about 6–8 turns). Then Miss Sunny gives you feedback.

  • Tap 🎙 and speak, then tap “■ Stop”. Miss Sunny checks what you said and gives one quick tip.
  • The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone — tap Allow.
  • If Miss Sunny can't hear you clearly, it isn't counted as a mistake — just try again.
  • Stuck? Tap “💡 Need help?” for phrases, or type your answer instead of speaking.
