Si preparas un examen oral

  1. Elige tu nivel

  2. Responde en voz alta

    Pon un temporizador de un minuto y habla. Usa una frase inicial solo para arrancar; las preguntas de seguimiento son lo que el examinador pregunta después.

  3. Usa las palabras

    Intenta meter en tu respuesta todas las palabras de la tarjeta. Toca una palabra para ver su significado y una frase de ejemplo.

  4. Practica con alguien que te escuche

    Un tutor de inglés con IA te hace las preguntas de seguimiento y te corrige con amabilidad, así el examen real se siente como la segunda vez.
