- 3In the chat, paste this starter: "I am learning English. Please answer in simple sentences. Correct my grammar gently. Let's role-play a coffee-shop chat."
- 4Type your reply as the customer
- 5After 5-6 turns, ask: "Give me feedback on my English."
What to practice
- Coffee-shop or store chat
- Job interview
- Doctor visit
- School parent-teacher conference
- Phone call to customer service
Words to know
- sandbox — a safe practice area
- model — the AI brain (like Claude or ChatGPT)
- role-play — pretending to be in a situation
- feedback — comments on how you are doing
- placeholder — a fake name or word used in practice
The big idea: 10 minutes of careful AI-assisted practice each day grows real-world English fast.
