How Speech Mode works

Speech Mode is a speaking practice room. The tutor says a line from a real situation, you answer in a full English sentence, and the conversation moves on. Each answer earns XP, and mistakes that are common for Spanish speakers get a short fix.

  1. Pick a scene: Café order, Meet someone new, Airport check-in or Job interview.
  2. Answer out loud with the microphone, or type if your browser has no speech recognition.
  3. Tap Help me if you freeze. The first tap gives you a sentence starter, the second a bank of useful words, the third a full sentence to say.

Questions people ask

Do I need a microphone?

It helps. In Chrome, Edge and Safari (including on iPhone and Android) you can answer out loud. In other browsers, say your answer out loud first and then type it.

Is the tutor in Speech Mode a real person?

No. Speech Mode is scripted practice that runs on this site. Live lessons with a human tutor are part of the 7-Day Sprint.

What happens when I make a mistake?

If your sentence contains a mistake that is common for Spanish speakers, such as "I have 25 years", you see a one-line fix with the reason it happens in Spanish.

Is Speech Mode free?

Yes, while the site is in testing.
