COURSE OUTLINE

Six everyday situations

Start with introductions and work up to speaking at work. Each chapter has two listen-and-repeat exercises and one conversation prompt.

  1. Meet someone new

    Introduce yourself and ask someone’s name.

    Hello, my name is Riya.

  2. Order at a café

    Order chai, ask about the menu, and get the bill.

    I’d like a cup of chai, please.

  3. Get around town

    Find the metro, check a route, and ask for a drop-off.

    Where is the nearest metro station?

  4. Make plans

    Suggest a time, talk about your day, and tell someone you’ll be late.

    Are you free this evening?

  5. Speak at work

    Ask for clarification, share a timeline, and introduce your experience.

    Could you say that again, please?

  6. Ask for help

    Explain a payment issue, report a lost item, and ask for a pharmacy.

    My UPI payment didn’t go through.

How a lesson works

In the café chapter, listen to “I’d like a cup of chai, please.” Say it into your microphone and compare the recognised words with the example. Then try asking for the bill from a prompt.

You can also type your answer. The studio compares words with sample answers and saves your completed exercises in this browser.
