Interactive English speaking story
A place at the table, a little homesickness, and two ways to begin.
Spend your first evening with host parents Mira and Leo and their youngest child, Pip. Solve small household problems, explain what you need and choose to help with dinner or rest before making breakfast. A2 everyday speaking practice, not an official exam or a measured score prediction.

A story that changes with your voice
Follow one possible opening route below. Your choices lead to different outcomes. Speaking rehearsals revisit your chosen route after its resolution and are counted separately from the story chapters.
It is a quarter past six on Sunday. You have just arrived at your homestay after a long flight. Mira is making dinner, Leo has brought the shopping and their youngest child, Pip, is setting four places. Your first language-college class starts at nine tomorrow. You want to be friendly, but you are tired too.
You put your suitcase beside the kitchen door. Pip cannot get past it with the plates. Mira shows you an empty space under the hall bench. You move the case together, and Pip can set the table. A small change makes room for everyone.
Pip has made a welcome card for your place at the table. He copied your name from a small message, but one letter is wrong. You thank him for the drawing and point to the letter. Mira gives you a pen. Pip watches as you correct it together.
