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.
The night brings a special kind of quiet, doesn't it?
Sometimes, the quietest hours are when our truest efforts emerge.
It's late now, but my mind drifts to the quiet promise of dawn.
Sometimes, a simple gesture can bring a quiet warmth.
Tonight feels a bit different, doesn't it?
Sometimes, I think about the quiet mornings by the lake.
On Sunday I cook phở for my family.
Some days I do not feel strong.
It is 6 in the morning.
The train left exactly on time.
A tourist asked me for directions.
My alarm went off at four forty.
My first draft is always bad.
It is past midnight and the bug is still there.
My English is still small.
Today I shipped one small change.
I am learning to say no.
The rain came suddenly today.
The office door closes behind me.
