Lao conversation tutor

A Lao word is only right with its tone.

Practise Lao tones, vowel length and polite everyday replies as parts of a message, not isolated sound exercises.

Absolute beginner to advanced
Four starting levels

One tone turned the word into another.

Lao tone depends on the syllable's consonant class, vowel and ending. Repeating useful phrases helps the sound pattern stay attached to meaning.

Use short exchanges to connect polite particles and pronoun choices to the relationship, without making every turn a grammar lecture.

Tell Chicky where to start

Start a simple Lao conversation about ordering food. Let me repeat short replies and help me keep vowel length and tone attached to the words.

Change the scene, the level or the correction focus whenever you want. The tutor follows the new brief.

Give your Lao a real situation.

Choose a scene you may actually meet this week. A real situation gives you words you can reuse.

  1. 01Greet a guest and make introductions
  2. 02Ask how to reach a nearby place
  3. 03Order a meal and request water
  4. 04Agree on a time to meet tomorrow

Fix the sentence while it is still fresh.

You hear the better sentence while your own answer is still fresh, then use it again.

  1. Answer

    Say what you can, even when the sentence is not finished.

  2. Repair

    Ask for help or get one focused correction on the useful part.

  3. Continue

    Say the better sentence, then take the next turn.
