Task 2 asks you to get information in an everyday situation by asking questions. The AI examiner plays the other person from the role card and answers through your phone’s French voice. Your speech becomes text on your phone, and only that text is sent to generate the examiner’s replies, after you agree to the AI speaking consent.
No. Speech is transcribed on your device, the audio is never saved or uploaded, and no voiceprint is created. You can also type your answers.
Practice questions, listening audio, mock exams, model answers and your progress work offline. AI feedback and the AI examiner need a connection.
