Text-first conversations, no video or large image downloads. No microphone required.
Open guided practice ↗ACCESS SHOULD NOT BE A PRIVILEGE
Your chance to practise English should not depend on where you live or what you can afford.
If you have no private tutor, no English-speaking friends and an unreliable connection, you still deserve to practise every day. That is why the core English Compass AI practice experience must be free, lightweight and independently useful.

1. Read or listen
Read one question and play the voice if your device has an available one.
2. Respond
Speak aloud, even when practising alone; typing is optional.
3. Compare
Review an example. We do not pretend to grade pronunciation or grammar.
4. Repeat
Give a different response in your own words, then move on.
Our promise includes being transparent
- Instructions are currently in English and Spanish. More first-language support needs careful translation and review.
- This is structured guided practice; genuine open-ended AI conversation still needs the secure backend.
- Audio depends on the browser and installed voices. Downloaded text activities work offline.
- Offline or printed materials must first reach the learner; we cannot claim to serve fully disconnected communities without local distribution.
Why equitable educational access matters
UNESCO recommends learning resources that fit local languages and settings, support access and complement rather than replace good teaching.
