Six Conversations

The six conversations everyone has, every week — and the grammar that makes each one run. You'll spend most of every lesson talking.

How it works: each lesson takes one real, everyday conversation and hands you its engine room — the two or three grammar structures that conversation can't happen without. You notice the pattern, check yourself with instant feedback, then talk: rapid-fire rounds, timed monologues, role swaps. By the last tab, the grammar isn't a rule you know — it's something you've already said twenty times.
