Want more practice than your assignments? Explore has activities shared by the ChitterChatter community, and you can copy any of them into your own Activities.
Select Explore in the menu on the left. Suggested for you shows a few activities based on the languages and levels you've been working in.
To narrow the list, choose a language, then a proficiency level. We'll choose Spanish, and Intermediate Low.
You can also search by topic or author. Let's type café.
Select an activity to see its details: what you'll practice, the scenario, how long it lasts, and how it's evaluated. Check that it fits your goal.
If it does, select Copy to my Activities, then select Copy. You get your own version to edit, and the original stays unchanged.
Your copy opens right away. You can change the title, the objectives, or the scenario. If you change anything, save it.
Then select Activities to go back. Choose Mine to see the activities you've made or copied. When you're ready, select Start.
There's nothing to turn in for your own activities. When your instructor asks for a conversation, use the assignment in your class instead.
Find something you enjoy, and keep practicing.
