Answer Short Question

Hear a question, answer in a word or two. Record your answer, play it back and compare with the model. Where available, you can also get pronunciation and fluency feedback — it doesn’t judge your content, so check that against the model.

Answer the question in a word or two.

A preflight check requests permission but does not keep or upload audio.
Or play the audio above — recording starts automatically when it ends, like the real test.

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.
