Practice scenarios

Money & everyday practice scenarios

This page is for anyone who has a money or everyday conversation coming up and wants to practice it out loud before it counts. The category covers 14 situations: negotiating a car price at the dealership, getting a medical bill lowered, pushing back on a rent increase, getting a landlord to fix the AC, canceling a gym membership, lowering your internet bill, holding a contractor to a written quote, countering a lowball total-loss offer, asking a neighbor to keep it down, asking a roommate to pay up, and three English practice chats (doctor visit, coworker small talk, party small talk), plus a phone call to book a dental appointment. In each one, you talk out loud or type against an AI character who pushes back. Afterward you see what worked and what to say differently. Pick the one you have been avoiding. That is the one to start with.
