Every lesson is a short story in two languages — English on top, your language underneath. Read one here, then open it in Spikdi to hear the narration and score your speaking.
My dog was scared of the stairs.
Tonight I close my phone.
I wake up before the sun.
I walked home in the rain today.
The kettle hums softly in the kitchen.
I remember the first time I spoke English to a stranger.
I turn off my phone.
Rain taps the window.
I remember my first time.
It is late. I could do one more task.
I carried a lie for a long time.
I watch my little neighbor play.
I wake up slowly.
The cold air hits my face.
Every night I read one page.
I close my laptop.
I finished a task before lunch.
I kept a secret for months.
I sit in my favorite chair.
I step outside before the sun rises.
I step outside before the sun is up.
I saw her at the train station.
I hear her voice and I smile.
I started writing a song last year.
I stared at the music sheet.
I held the secret for a long time.
I kept a secret for years.
I cook for you tonight.
The market is so loud today.
I look out the small window.
I found an old photo today.
I sit at my desk and stare at the blank page.
The first sip is always the best.
I was not the best player.
I almost quit this project three times.
Today a stranger smiled at me.
The door clicks shut.
I stand on the platform.
I start with my desk.
My niece taught me something today.
I almost quit this project.
I saw her name on my phone.
I open my eyes before the alarm.
I could not sleep last night.
I kept a secret for so long.
I always said I hated mushrooms.
I chop onions slowly tonight.
I remember my first paycheck.
I stare at the screen for hours.
I always hated mushrooms.
