English speaking practice

Your next conversation.
Before you even arrive.

A café, the way to the station, checking in at a hotel. Rehearse useful English before your trip: listen, speak, compare, and try again. No ads or account.

Four phrases for the start of your trip.

These phrases are included in Start Speaking’s English course. Say each aloud, then cover the phrase and recall it from the situation.

☕
A coffee, please.

Use it when ordering at a café.

→
Where is the train station?

Ask where to find the train station.

⌂
I have a reservation.

Start your hotel check-in with a simple statement.

✈
Which gate is it?

Ask which gate your flight leaves from.

Choose tomorrow’s situation

Pick one likely exchange: a café, transport, a hotel, or an airport. The American English course starts with the basics, with Russian or Brazilian Portuguese learner support.

Listen. Speak. Try again.

Play the model phrase in the app. Hold the microphone and say it, then release. Compare the recognized words with the model and retry the difficult part. Rehearse at your own pace before speaking with someone.

Come back to the phrase later

Take a break, then try saying the phrase without the model. Choose another useful situation the next day. Before traveling, prepare offline recognition and the speech voice, then check a new session without a connection.

Put English into your own voice.

One useful phrase. Your own attempt. A clear next step.

Read the situation. Listen to the model, then hold the microphone and speak.
