How long does a typical Loora daily lesson take?

Excellent question! And the answer is... it depends on you!

How It Works

Loora is designed for bite-sized conversation practice, so if you engage with the daily conversation, you’ll have the chance to respond to Loora 12 times. The length of each response is up to you, but we encourage you to commit to giving full answers and to test your language skills. Here is an example:

Loora: So tell me about your hometown. What's it like?

Student A: It's a small town in Spain.

Student B: It's a small town in the north of Spain in a region called Catalunya. It's about 20 kms outside of Barcelona on the coast. It's quite relaxed except in the summer when many people come to the beach. I like it a lot.

Here you can see how student B is really taking advantage of their turn to say as much as possible and get feedback on their grammar and pronunciation.

To answer your original question: how long does the daily conversation last? We recommend blocking 15 minutes to engage. This allows your time to speak and your time to review feedback.

Remember that the more you put in, the more you will get out of Loora!

Here are some tips to help you give better and longer answers:

1. Follow the "answer + reason + example" pattern

Loora: What’s your favorite season?

Instead of giving a short answer like "I like summer," add why ("because the weather is warm") and a specific example ("In fact, last summer, I went swimming every weekend"). You can even add a "where" and a "with whom”!

Student: I like summer because the weather is warm. In fact, last summer I went swimming at the beach with my friends every weekend.

2. Practice using more connecting words

Add more ideas using connecting words such as "also," "and," "plus," "in addition," or "furthermore." These little words tell Loora that you have more to say. Instead of just saying "I like reading," try "I like reading. Also, I enjoy writing stories in my free time."

Show different sides using words like "but," "however," "on the other hand," "although," or "while." These help you sound more natural and thoughtful. For example: "I enjoy living in the city. However, I sometimes miss the quiet of my hometown."

Tell stories more effectively by using sequencing words like "first," "then," "next," "after that," and "finally." These guide your listener through what happened: "First, I woke up late. Then, I rushed to catch the bus. After that, I realized I forgot my homework!"

Explain your reasons using "because," "so," "therefore," "as a result," or "that's why." This is one of the easiest ways to make your answers longer and more interesting: "I study English every day because I want to travel and meet people from different countries."

Make a simple reference list you can keep with you — maybe on your phone or a small card. When you're speaking and feel stuck, glance at it to find a connector word that helps you continue.

Remember: using these words isn't just about making your answers longer—they make your English sound more fluent and natural. Every time you use a connector word successfully, you're getting better at expressing yourself in English!
