🗣️Speaking

🎤
IELTS Speaking Breakthrough — Band 7+ System NEW

🎭
Part 1 Show Room NEW
Part 1 is predictable — so show off. Pick your personality path for each common topic (big city or village? spice lover or sweet tooth?), learn its Band 7 idioms & collocations, then Rubik's-cube them through changing grammar until they're flexible.
🦴

🎧
Free Pronunciation Test FREE
Two minutes, four sentences. Scored sound by sound rather than word by word, so it can name the exact phoneme that's costing you clarity — then queues that sound up in the trainer for you.
