Who will I be talking to?
Lucía. The AI plays a easy counterpart who stays in character for the whole conversation, asks one question at a time, and pushes back when your answers are vague. It never coaches you mid-conversation; feedback comes at the end.
What is the goal of this scenario?
Greet the barista, order a drink and something to eat in Spanish, answer whether it is to stay or to go, ask the price, and pay, using polite forms and full sentences.
What will the AI ask me?
It opens with: ¡Hola, buenos días! ¿Qué te pongo?
From there it follows your answers with realistic follow-ups, so no two runs are the same. The conversation lasts up to 10 of your turns, or you can end it early to get scored.
How is my score calculated?
You get a score out of 10 for each of these criteria, and an overall score weighted as shown. Each criterion comes with a one-line note on what you did and what to change.

Can I practice speaking a language with an AI?
Yes. Language scenarios put you in a realistic situation, such as ordering at a café, and the persona replies in the target language at a level you can follow.
Will the AI correct my grammar mistakes?
It keeps the conversation going and adds one short, gentle correction at the end of a reply when you make a clear mistake, so you learn without the flow being interrupted.
What level do I need to use these scenarios?
Beginner scenarios use short sentences and common words. Set the difficulty lower for more patience and simpler language, or higher for natural speed and idioms.
How is a language practice session scored?
The rubric looks at whether you achieved the task, vocabulary use, grammar accuracy, and how naturally you kept the exchange going. You get notes on specific phrases to fix.
