🎙 Speaking · C2

Correct the Almost-Right Word

Diagnose near-synonym errors in real time and justify the exact replacement in terms of meaning, register, prosody or grammar.

You'll practice:

  • lexical diagnosis
  • register control
  • valency explanation
  • near-synonym comparison

How it works

3 parts

  1. Explain Four Corrections

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

  2. Lexical Editor with Alex

    You and Alex take turns asking and answering — 4 short answers.

  3. Mission: Defend Every Word

    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.
