Situation of the day

One everyday situation a day: a short dialogue to listen to, then take one side and say your lines

Loading the tool…

Shows one everyday situation a day as a short dialogue: ordering at a restaurant, asking for directions, a visit to the pharmacy. Listen to the whole exchange, then take one side and say your lines with them hidden.

How to use

  1. Choose the "Language I am learning" and "Language I know".
  2. Press "Listen to all" to hear the whole dialogue, or "Listen" on a line to hear it alone. "Reading speed" sets the pace.
  3. Under "My role", choose A or B to hide your lines. Say each one aloud, then tap the hidden line to check it.
  4. Turn off "Show meanings" to see only the learning language. Earlier situations are available with the left arrow.
  5. If a line reads wrong, press "Looks wrong" on that line to send a correction request.

How it works

Questions and answers

How does the role play work?
Choose B under "My role" and B's lines are hidden. Listen to A, say what B would answer, then tap the hidden line to compare with the actual line.
Can I pick a situation myself?
Each day has a fixed situation; the left arrow opens any earlier day.
Is there a separate Latin American Spanish version?
Only lines that differ from Spanish from Spain are written separately. For example, answering the phone with "¿Diga?" becomes "¿Bueno?" or "¿Aló?" in Latin America.
