Vocabulary Games

20 XP eachOpen

Three game modes that drill vocabulary: Word Match, Fill in the Blank, and Speed Round.

Tips

  • Play Speed Round daily to build instant word recall.
  • Missed a word? The result screen shows the correct answer, note it down.
  • Word Match is best for learning new words; Speed Round for cementing them.

Vocabulary List & SRS Review

Free + AI mnemonics (Pro)Open

Save words from lessons to your personal list and review them with spaced repetition. Pro users can generate AI memory hooks.

How to use it

  1. 1.Click the bookmark icon on any lesson to save vocabulary words.
  2. 2.Go to Vocabulary → Review tab to start a spaced repetition session.
  3. 3.Rate each card: Easy, Medium, or Hard, the algorithm schedules your next review automatically.
  4. 4.Pro: open any word card and click "Generate Mnemonic" for a vivid AI memory hook.

Tips

  • Do 5–10 SRS reviews daily, short sessions work better than long ones.
  • Honest ratings matter: don't pick Easy for words you half-remember.
  • Mnemonics are especially useful for abstract words like "leverage" or "bandwidth".

Dialog Practice

40 XP, Pro ProOpen

Roleplay 11 real workplace scenarios with AI. Includes multi-persona dialogs and branching narratives.

How to use it

  1. 1.Pick a scenario (salary negotiation, standup, client call, job interview, sprint planning…).
  2. 2.The AI opens the conversation as the other person, respond naturally.
  3. 3.Multi-persona scenarios (Sprint Planning, Incident Response) have 3 AI characters with distinct voices.
  4. 4.After each message, tap "Feedback" to see your score and suggestions.
  5. 5.When done, click "End session" for a full summary with tips.

Tips

  • Don't overthink, write as you would actually speak.
  • Read each feedback card even if your score is high; suggestions matter more than scores.
  • Repeat the same scenario multiple times to track how your phrasing improves.
  • Try Salary Negotiation first, it forces assertive, direct language.
  • In multi-persona scenarios, address specific speakers by name for a more realistic feel.

Rephrase Coach

15 XP, Pro ProOpen

Paste any sentence and get three professional rewrites (Formal, Casual, Assertive) with cultural adaptation for US, UK, and Japan contexts.

How to use it

  1. 1.Type or paste your sentence into the box.
  2. 2.Click "Rephrase it", you'll get 3 rewrites plus cultural notes.
  3. 3.Read the explanation under each version to understand WHY it works.
  4. 4.Copy the version that fits your context.

Tips

  • Use this with real emails and Slack messages you're about to send.
  • Compare Formal vs Assertive, most learners overuse Formal and sound weak.
  • Pay attention to the cultural notes, US English is more direct than UK; Japan context is indirect.
  • Rephrase the same sentence in different styles to learn tone shifts.

Search & Learn

25 XP, Pro ProOpen

Type any professional goal and the AI builds a personalised 3-step learning path with vocabulary, phrases, and a practice scenario.

How to use it

  1. 1.Go to Search & Learn and type a goal (e.g. "explain a system outage to my manager").
  2. 2.The AI returns a 3-step plan: vocabulary to learn, phrases to use, and a scenario to practice.
  3. 3.Work through each step in order, the steps build on each other.
  4. 4.Try different goals to explore areas relevant to your role.

Tips

  • Be specific, "lead a sprint review" is better than "improve my English".
  • Use goals from real situations you're facing at work.
  • Save the vocabulary words to your list and review them via SRS.

Simulators

30 XP, Pro ProOpen

Two high-pressure simulations: a live meeting with AI teammates, and a scored presentation analysis.

How to use it

  1. 1.Meeting Simulator: join a standup or sprint review, the AI team lead asks real questions.
  2. 2.Presentation Simulator: paste your pitch or talk, the AI scores structure, clarity, confidence, and filler words.
  3. 3.Both give detailed scores and improvement tips at the end.

Tips

  • For meetings, pretend it's real, type as fast as you would speak.
  • Watch your filler word count in presentations. "Um", "like", "basically" kill credibility.
  • Paste real presentations or emails you've already written, it's more useful than made-up text.

English Practice Activities

Free, guidesOpen

A curated guide of 40 off-platform activities: reading, watching, writing, and speaking exercises you can do today.

How to use it

  1. 1.Go to Activities and browse the four sections: Reading, Watching/Listening, Writing, Speaking.

  3. 3.Pick 1–2 activities from different sections each week.

Tips

  • The Writing section has the highest ROI, daily journaling and Slack habits carry over to real work.
  • Watch with English subtitles, not your native language subtitles.
  • Speaking activities like shadowing feel awkward at first, do them anyway.

Progress Tracker

Free, track growthOpen

A radar chart across 5 skills, streak calendar, weekly comparison, activity history, and capability badges.

How to use it

  1. 1.The radar chart shows your scores across: Vocabulary, Clarity, Fluency, Confidence, Assertiveness.
  2. 2.The heatmap shows your activity for the last 26 weeks, green = active days.

  4. 4.Activity history logs every lesson, game, and dialog with XP earned.
  5. 5.Capability badges unlock automatically as you hit milestones (e.g. 5 dialogs = "Conversation Starter").

Tips

  • Check Progress every Monday, it resets your motivation for the week.
  • If one radar skill is low, focus on the matching tool (low Vocabulary → more games, low Confidence → more dialog).
  • A 7-day streak is the first major milestone to hit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need per day?

10–15 minutes. One lesson (5 min) + one game or SRS review (5 min) is enough to maintain a streak and see real improvement in 4 weeks.

What's XP and why does it matter?

XP (experience points) measure how much you've practiced. It's a motivational tracker, higher XP means more consistent effort. Your progress radar reflects your actual practice distribution.

Which feature should I start with?

Start with Lessons to build vocabulary, save words to your Vocabulary list, then do a short SRS review session. Once comfortable, move to Dialog Practice (Pro) for conversation.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free gives you lessons, vocabulary games, SRS review, progress tracking, and the activities guide, no AI required. Pro unlocks every AI-powered feature: Dialog Practice, Rephrase Coach, Search & Learn, Simulators, and AI Mnemonics. AI features are completely blocked on the free plan (not just rate-limited).

How do I improve my score in Dialog?

Read each feedback card carefully, especially the "Better phrasing" suggestion. Repeat the same scenario after 3 days, you'll see a direct improvement in your score.

What are multi-persona scenarios?

Sprint Planning and Incident Response scenarios feature 3 AI characters (e.g. Scrum Master, Engineer, Product Owner) who each respond in character. This simulates real team meetings where you must address multiple stakeholders.

Can I use SpeakEvo for job interview prep?

Yes, the Job Interview dialog scenario is specifically built for this. Also use Presentation Simulator to practice answers, Rephrase Coach to polish how you describe your experience, and Search & Learn with goals like "answer behavioral interview questions".

What are capability badges?

Badges unlock automatically when you hit milestones (e.g. completing 5 dialog sessions earns "Conversation Starter"). A notification appears on your dashboard when you earn one, check Progress to see all badges.

Pro gives you dialog, rephrase, simulators, search & learn, and AI mnemonics, $10/month.
