Will I only have access to one conversation a day?

As a subscriber, you'll have access to one of the following every day:

1. Daily Lesson
2. Role Play
3. Read and Talk activity

Once you've completed one of these, you'll have access to unlimited talk.

What this means for your daily practice

When you engage in a 5-15 minute daily conversation, you're working with your brain's natural learning patterns rather than against them. Here's why this approach is effective:

Focused Objectives: Each conversation targets specific skills - perhaps today you're practicing past tense verbs, tomorrow you're working on pronunciation of difficult sounds. This focused approach means you're not overwhelming yourself trying to master everything at once.

Better Absorption: The research found that when "only the essence and main ideas are extracted," learners show improved retention. In practical terms, this means a short conversation about your weekend plans will be more beneficial than discussing complex philosophical topics for an hour.

Sustainable Practice: Daily short sessions are easier to maintain than weekly long sessions. You're more likely to complete a 10-minute conversation during your lunch break than to find two uninterrupted hours on the weekend.

Progressive Building: Each day's practice builds on the previous day's foundation. Studies showed that students who engaged with content daily performed better in grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and pronunciation than those using traditional methods.

How daily conversations build your confidence

Low-Pressure Environment: Unlike high-stakes conversations with native speakers, daily AI conversations provide a judgment-free zone. The studies found that this reduced anxiety led to greater willingness to practice and experiment with the language.

Incremental wins: Each successful conversation, no matter how brief, is a victory. The research showed that students who used daily microlearning reported feeling more confident in their abilities. These small daily successes compound over time into significant gains in confidence.

Safe space for mistakes: The studies emphasized that microlearning environments where students could "review their performance, identify areas for improvement, and practice speaking tasks repeatedly" led to enhanced fluency and accuracy. With an AI tutor, you can make mistakes without embarrassment, try different phrasings, and gradually refine your skills.

Self-paced progress: The research found that when learners had "control over their learning experience," they developed stronger self-efficacy. You decide when to have your conversation, what topics to explore, and how much to challenge yourself each day. This autonomy builds confidence in your ability to manage your own learning journey.

Measurable growth: Regular daily practice makes progress more visible. After just one week of daily 10-minute conversations, you'll have accumulated over an hour of speaking practice. The studies showed that this consistent engagement led to "significant improvement in English-speaking scores" with effect sizes indicating substantial practical benefits.

The Growth Mindset connection

Regular microlearning fosters a growth mindset - the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. When you engage in daily conversations:

• You see speaking skills as something you're developing, not something you either have or don't have
• You view mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures
• You focus on progress rather than perfection
• You build resilience through consistent practice

This psychological shift is just as important as the linguistic skills you're developing. The studies found that students who engaged in regular, brief practice sessions not only improved their speaking abilities but also developed more positive attitudes toward language learning overall.

Loora's top tip: The key to success isn't the length of each practice session but the consistency of showing up daily. Even five minutes of focused conversation practice each day will yield better results than sporadic longer sessions. The research is clear - when it comes to language learning, steady daily progress beats occasional intensive effort.
