Speak Dutchfrom day one, gently.in Українська.
Listen to an example line, shadow the rhythm under your breath, record, and play yours next to the example. You decide how it felt — no accent score, no public score.

Example voice
You
Four steps. Always the same.
Speaking practice fails when learners freeze. We protect against the freeze with one fixed rhythm — every prompt, every level.
- 01
Listen
Tap once to hear the example line at full speed. Tap again for half-speed if you need it.
- 02
Shadow
Mouth the line under your breath. The waveform of the example shows the rhythm — match the peaks.
- 03
Record
Tap the mic. A live waveform shows it's working. Tap again to stop. No long-press, no swipe.
- 04
Compare
Your waveform appears under the example. Play yours, play example-then-yours, or re-record. You rate how it felt.
Five formats. One for each exam task.
The inburgering speaking exam mixes formats. We practice each one with the same calm flow.
Listen, then say it back
“Ik wil graag een afspraak maken.”
Answer in your own words
“Wat doet u in het weekend?”
Describe what you see
“Vertel wat u op deze foto ziet.”
Read the passage out loud
“De bus naar het centrum gaat ieder kwartier.”
Short conversation
“Goedemorgen, waarmee kan ik u helpen?”
What speaking practice does and doesn't.
Honest about what tech can and cannot tell you about your own voice.
- A high-quality Dutch example voice on every prompt, with half-speed playback.
- Five prompt formats matched to the exam's speaking tasks.
- You rate how it felt — Comfortable, Okay, Hard — and that drives the schedule.
- Recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to save them.
- A calm skip is always visible. Adults rage-quit before guessing.
- We do not score your accent. Acoustic accuracy at that level is brittle, and it's not what the exam tests.
- We do not give a pronunciation grade. We give you the comparison and trust your ear.
- There is no AI conversation partner — yet. We're working on it; it isn't live.

Questions about speaking practice.
01
Why don't you score my pronunciation?
Honest answer: today's acoustic scoring is unreliable for adults speaking a second language with diverse first-language accents. We'd rather let you compare and decide than give a wrong number that you might believe.
02
What if I don't allow the microphone?
You can still listen and shadow — recording is optional. We'll ask again next session, never nag.
03
What if I'm in a noisy place?
We detect heavy background noise and offer to snooze the recording, or record anyway if you choose. No silent failures.
04
Do the prompts match the exam?
The five formats — repeat, answer, describe, read aloud, dialogue — match the inburgering speaking exam tasks at A2 and B1.
05
I get nervous speaking out loud.
Nothing is shared, nothing is broadcast, nothing is scored against other learners. Recordings stay on your phone unless you save them. Speaking is between you and the prompt.
06
Does it work on any phone?
Any modern phone with a mic. We've tested on iPhone and recent Android. No app to install — runs in the browser.
