Let's have your first conversation. Open your class from Classes, then select Assignments. Select an activity's title to see its details.
You'll see how long the conversation should be, when it's due, and what you'll do. Select Start activity.
The first time, you're asked how the AI should refer to you. Pick an option, or Skip for now. You can change it later in Settings.
On Practice Setup, select Test Mic, then Start Recording. Say a few words, select Stop Recording, then Play Back. If you can hear yourself, select Sounds Good, then Continue.

In this activity, you speak first. Once you see Connected, just say hello.
It's fine to ask your partner to slow down. Missed a word? Select AI Text to read what your partner just said. Details opens your goals, the scenario, and the transcript. Pause mutes your mic until you select Resume.
The bar at the top tracks your time. When it turns green, you've reached the minimum, and you can wrap up anytime.
To finish, select End, then End Session. If you end before the minimum, you won't receive feedback.
Next, choose how the conversation felt and select Submit, or select Skip.
If your assignment needs a submission, you're asked whether to submit this session. Choose Not Now to turn it in later from Assignments.
Your feedback opens next. That's your first conversation.
