Lesson 7 — Say It Without Saying It

🎙 Speaking · C2

Say It Without Saying It

Use controlled indirectness for diplomacy, criticism and face-saving.

You'll practice:

  • calibrating certainty
  • explaining inference
  • qualifying weak sources
  • avoiding causal overclaim

How it works

3 parts

  1. Soften the Message

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

  2. Read Alex’s Subtext

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

  3. Diplomatic 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.
