one day at a timeTen words to sound sharper
Tap the speaker to hear each word. Use six in today's recording.
Answer out loud
Each model answer uses PREP: Point - Reason - Example - Point.

Repeat each one five times, matching the rhythm.
How the daily routine works.
Each day gives you one theme, ten words worth owning, model answers built on PREP — Point, Reason, Example, Point — and one homework prompt to record. The order matters: you read and hear the words first, use them inside a full answer second, and only then record without a script. Saying a word out loud once does more for recall than reading it five times.
A take is meant to be short. Thirty seconds is enough for the analysis to mean something, and two minutes is the maximum — long enough to build a real answer, short enough that you will come back tomorrow. The habit is the point, not the length.
What the feedback actually measures.
Every recording comes back as numbers rather than adjectives, so you can tell whether today was better than yesterday:
- Words per minute, with a band showing whether you rushed, dragged or landed in a comfortable range. Nerves show up here first.
- Filler count and percentage, broken down by word — so you find out whether your habit is um, like, basically or actually. Most people are surprised by which one it turns out to be.
- Clarity and coherence, for whether the answer held together or wandered.
- PREP structure, for whether you made a point, backed it and closed it.
- A transcript, because reading your own words back is the quickest way to notice what you actually said.
Two full analyses a week are free, and quick reads are free every day, so a daily habit costs nothing. Credits and passes are there for the days you want several takes and a comparison between them.
If you are short on time.
Ten minutes is plenty: two on the words, three reading the model answers aloud, one to record the homework, the rest on the report. With only three minutes, skip the words and record anyway — an imperfect take you actually did beats a perfect session you postponed.
If speaking cold still feels hard, start in Shadow Speaking, where you read a passage aloud at a set pace before answering anything of your own. When unseen prompts feel manageable, the topic bank and the practice room are the next step, and the PREP method explains the structure these model answers follow.
