Strengthen the Contrast
Listen to the example, then record two short sentences about you.
Build Momentum
You and Alex take turns asking and answering — 3 short answers.
Persuade the Decision-Maker
A short free conversation: Alex starts, you reply (about 5–8 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.
