How to use this preview

Read for meaning. Use the app for model audio and recording.

The dialogues, English meanings, mouth cues, and response frames above come from the current Parle course. In the app, every mission adds reviewed model audio, the Hear–Shape–Say–Use sequence, recording, Phrase Match word detection, and progress tracking.

Phrase Match is not an accent score, pronunciation grade, or official CEFR assessment. It reports which words speech recognition detected and can be wrong.
