Re-tell Lecture
Hear a short lecture, then re-tell it in your own words. Record your answer, play it back, and compare with the model — it isn’t auto-scored, because real speaking needs a human ear.

A preflight check requests permission but does not keep or upload audio.
Private: your recording stays in this browser and is never uploaded. We don't score speaking — real pronunciation and fluency need a human (or the test's own machine), so use the sample to self-assess.
