Retell from Two Distances
Practise retelling the same event with different levels of immediacy, distance and reflection.
You'll practice:
- use historical present for selected vivid moments
- background earlier events with controlled tense shifts
- signal uncertainty and source distance
- reflect on the same event from hindsight

Mission: Tell It from Two Angles
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.
