Conversation

Practise by having a conversation

Knowing vocabulary and grammar is different from being able to use them in a conversation.

Conversation gives you a place to practise expressing yourself in the language you are learning.

You can start with a topic you are interested in, work on something specific or practise a situation you may encounter in real life.

The conversation continues from what you write, so you can ask questions, change direction and keep practising naturally instead of following a fixed script.

Choose the kind of practice you need

Not every conversation has to work in the same way. You can choose a session that matches what you want to practise.

Free talk

Have an open conversation about a topic of your choice. This is useful when you simply want to practise understanding and expressing yourself without following a lesson.

Lesson

Work through a more guided session. Vocafy can introduce a topic, explain language and ask questions to check your understanding.

Vocabulary

Focus the conversation on words and expressions you are learning, giving you more opportunities to meet and use them again.

Roleplay

Practise a real situation such as ordering in a restaurant, travelling or taking part in a job interview. Vocafy takes the other role and stays within the situation while you practise your side of the conversation.

Choose how your tutor teaches

People do not all want the same kind of help during a conversation.

You can choose how your tutor responds to you: whether it should be casual or formal, give short answers or detailed explanations, and correct mistakes immediately or let the conversation continue with fewer interruptions.

You can also adjust how encouraging it should be, how much humour it uses and whether explanations should stay simple or go into more detail.

If you are practising a particular skill, you can give the tutor a stronger focus on areas such as vocabulary, grammar, speaking, pronunciation, listening, reading or writing.

You can also choose how much of the language you already speak should be used for explanations. For example, the tutor can stay entirely in the language you are learning or use your own language when something is difficult to explain.

If you do not want to set everything yourself, you can start with a ready-made tutor and use its existing teaching style.

Bring your saved vocabulary into the conversation

Words you save in Vocafy do not have to stay in a separate vocabulary list.

Conversation can use selected words and expressions you are already learning, together with some of the information Vocafy has about them.

In a normal conversation, this can help useful vocabulary appear again naturally. In a vocabulary session, the tutor can focus more directly on words you are currently learning or have found difficult.

This gives you another way to move from recognising a word to understanding and using it yourself.

Review vocabulary without leaving the conversation

Vocabulary practice can also happen directly inside the chat.

Vocafy can show a short multiple-choice question when a quick check is useful, so you can test yourself and then continue the conversation.

It can also bring in a vocabulary card that is due for review. When you answer it, the result becomes part of your normal review history and affects when that item should appear again.

This means a conversation can include real vocabulary review rather than becoming a completely separate activity.

Save useful expressions you discover

Conversations often contain words and expressions you want to remember.

When something useful comes up, Vocafy can offer to save it together with an example sentence.

You decide whether to add it. Nothing is saved to your vocabulary until you approve it.

Once saved, the expression becomes part of your personal vocabulary. You can then see and manage it in My Knowledge and use it in other supported parts of Vocafy.

Come back to earlier conversations

You do not have to treat every conversation as temporary.

Vocafy keeps your previous chats so you can return to a topic or continue practising later.

You can search and organise conversations, mark useful ones as favourites and archive those you no longer need in your main list.
