Lesson 1 of 5

Expect a research-study setup, then hear only

Each task begins with a short note: you agreed to join a study and a researcher will ask a few questions. After that, you hear each question once — you cannot read it on the real test.

Read the setup calmly, then switch to listening mode. Do not plan a full script while you wait.

Practice Questions

Listen once, then answer. On the real test you cannot read the question.

Record your response

Allow microphone access, speak naturally, then play your recording back before you reveal the model.
