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.
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.
I plant a seed in the dark soil.
I walk alone in the early morning.
I still remember her name.
This morning the air felt different.
I sat across from my friend.
I burned the toast this morning.
I found an old photo today.
I walk through the night market.
Tomorrow is a big day.
I smell the night air.
I had one more task to do.
I wake up slowly.
I walk home in the rain.
I chop the vegetables slowly.
I put down my phone.
I think about Mr. Lopez.
I am cooking a meal for someone I love.
I sit by the window in the hotel.
I hold the warm cup in my hands.
I smell the smoky air from a cart.
I was scared to try spicy food.
I pour tea into my cup.
I write a letter tonight.
I want to try again.
I walk through the busy market.
Today is the last day of my trip.
I always feared eating new food.
I walk by the water.
I walked along the shore tonight.
Tomorrow is a big day.
I pack my bag for a new trip.
I stared at the page for hours.
The rain started suddenly.
I clean my room tonight.
Rain taps on my window.
