When you get stuck

Every conversation carries these repair moves. Tap one to see what happens.

For here or to go?
Sorry, can you say that again?
For here or to go?
Repeats the line once. Same words, no penalty.
The freeze
You know the word. It just won't come out.
Years of lessons. Months of an app. Then someone at a counter asks one ordinary question and your mind goes blank.

“For here or to go?”
You know “to go”. It just won't come out.
silence
01
Memorising isn't speaking
You can recall 3,000 words and still not build one sentence in real time.
02
Grammar isn't confidence
Knowing the rule and reaching for it mid-sentence are two different skills.
03
Reading isn't hearing
Clean textbook audio is nothing like a tired waiter at native speed.
The other way round
Say it badly first. Get it right second.
The conversation comes first and the correction second, so you never lose the thread of what you were trying to say.
Traditional
Study → test → forget → repeat
Points for finishing units. Silence where the speaking should be.
Fluency
Speak → be understood → be corrected → speak again
Two minutes of talking beats an hour of scrolling. Every correction is tied to a sentence you actually said.
How it works
Five things happen between your sentence and the reply.
Step 01 · Listening
It hears the sentence you actually said, not the one the textbook expected.
Words it's unsure of are underlined in cyan, so you can see exactly what was misheard.

What you get back
Ability, not points.
After every conversation: minutes spoken, how often you were understood first time, and the few things worth fixing, quoted from your own words.

How the listening works
No black box. You can see what it heard.
01 / CONFIDENCE
Uncertain words are marked
If it's only 61% sure of a word, it underlines it instead of guessing silently.
02 / INTENT
Meaning before grammar
It works out what you were reaching for, then decides whether the slip was worth stopping for.
03 / MEMORY
Your mistakes carry over
Tomorrow's conversation is built around what you got wrong today. You control what it keeps.
