Negotiate and confirm a schedule

Decline with a reason, propose another time and confirm start, end and meeting format.

New dialogue audio uses a supported device voice when a recording is unavailable. Some devices may not have a voice for this language.

Sound options

Choose a voice and play the sample. Availability depends on your device.

If your language voice is missing, you can try browser automatic voice. Stop if the pronunciation sounds wrong.

Your voice choice stays in this browser. Some voices need internet.

Check your media volume and Bluetooth connection. Choose another voice or recheck after enabling the language in your device's speech settings.

A rough reading aid, not exact pronunciation. Hyphens separate syllables. Listen first, then try with hints hidden. “eu” is said with unrounded lips; “uh” only approximates ㅓ. Doubled consonants are tense, not extra syllables. Do not add a vowel after a final consonant.

Conversation practice

Listen, then hide your lines and answer aloud. Read the meaning only when needed. Try the changed situation before revealing a model response. These speaking tasks are self-practice, not automatically graded.

Change the situation

You cannot meet at five. Suggest an online meeting at six instead.

One possible response

다섯 시는 어려워요. 대신 여섯 시에 온라인으로 만날 수 있을까요?

Sound hintdah-suht ssee-neun uh-ryuh-wuh-yoh. deh-seen yuh-suht ssee-eh ohn-rah-een-eu-roh mahn-nahl ssoo ee-sseul-kkah-yoh

Five doesn't work for me. Could we meet online at six instead?

Did you include all the changed details? Now switch roles and ask one follow-up question of your own.

그때는 다른 약속이 있어요. 다섯 시는 어때요?

Sound hintgeu-tteh-neun dah-reun yahk-ssoh-gee ee-ssuh-yoh. dah-suht ssee-neun uh-tteh-yoh

Up to 20 seconds per recording. Recordings are not uploaded. For longer answers, practice in sections.
