Video transcript
You can build your own speaking activity around anything you want to practice. Let's make one from the dashboard.
Under Make your own activity, choose your language and your level. We'll use Spanish, at Intermediate Low.
Then describe your idea: where the conversation happens, and what you want to practice. You can also upload materials, like a vocabulary list. Select the arrow to send it.
The assistant asks a few quick questions, such as whether you have materials and whether the language and level are right. Answer with the buttons, or type a reply.
Next, you'll see the proposed activity. If it looks right, select Start building. If not, select Add more details.
ChitterChatter builds the activity. It usually takes under a minute.
When you see Your draft is ready, select Practice now to try it, or View details to review it.
In the details, you can change the title, the learning objectives, the scenario, and the feedback you'll get. Save any changes.
Want to show your idea to your instructor? Go to Activities and choose Mine. Open the activity's menu, and select Share with instructor.
If you're in more than one class, tick the class you want. Then select Share activity.
Your instructor gets an editable draft they can review, change, and assign to the class. Sharing doesn't turn anything in, and your own activity stays yours to practice.
Build what you want to practice, and share your best ideas.
