Real-life speaking practice

Practice the conversation before you need it.

Rehearse travel, work and everyday situations with Lua, your AI conversation partner. Speak out loud, get instant feedback, and work through the moments where you usually get stuck.

Six conversations to make your own

Use these ideas to describe a situation in Lua. Change the place, language and difficulty to match your life. The prompts below are practice suggestions, not transcripts or a fixed course.

Order at a café

Try: “You work at a café. Help me order a drink and something to eat. Ask me one question at a time.”

Practice: A polite request, sizes, preferences and asking how much something costs.

Go further: Ask to change your order or explain an ingredient you want to avoid.

Check into a hotel

Try: “You are a hotel receptionist. I have a reservation, and I want to ask about breakfast and checkout.”

Practice: Names, dates, numbers and practical follow-up questions.

Go further: Explain that something in your room is not working.

Introduce yourself at work

Try: “We are colleagues meeting for the first time. Ask me about my role and the project I am working on.”

Practice: Explaining your responsibilities and asking about someone else's work.

Go further: Summarize a project update and clarify the next step.

Prepare for a job interview

Try: “Help me rehearse an interview. Ask about my experience, then ask a follow-up question based on my answer.”

Practice: Describing past work and explaining a decision or accomplishment.

Go further: Answer the same question again using a correction you just learned.

Make plans with a friend

Try: “Let's decide what to do this weekend. Suggest an activity and ask what I would like to do.”

Practice: Preferences, suggestions, times and places.

Go further: Disagree politely and suggest an alternative.

Tell a story from your day

Try: “Ask me about something that happened today. Keep asking questions so I can tell the story.”

Practice: Sequencing events, past tenses and explaining how you felt.

Go further: Retell the story using two corrected phrases from your conversation.

A simple ten-minute practice routine

Choose one situation and one goal. Spend the first few minutes answering out loud, pause to understand a correction, then continue using the new phrasing. Finish by saying your most useful answer again without reading it.

Pick a pace that lets you pay attention to both the conversation and the feedback.
