What Are Bilingual Conversations?

In a bilingual conversation, Kippy shows each question in the language you're practicing and in your own language, and you can ask for help in your own language. Kippy explains, then switches back when you're ready, so beginners can start speaking from day one.

When a conversation moves too quickly, it's easy to lose your place. Seeing the question in both languages helps you understand the meaning and focus on your answer.

Ask for the Words You Need

You don't have to give up on an idea because a word is missing. Ask how to say it in your own language.

For example, ask how to say β€œI love pizza,” then use the suggested phrase to answer the original question.

How Bilingual Conversations Work

  • See both languages: Each question appears in the language you're practicing, with your own language alongside.
  • Ask in your own language: Missing a word? Ask Kippy how to say it.
  • Answer out loud: Read the translation when you need it, then answer in the language you're practicing.
  • Grow your answers: Keep your first answers short. As familiar words come more easily, add a reason, an example or a question of your own.

Choose an everyday topic such as food, hobbies or travel, and keep taking small turns. You can start practicing before you feel ready for a conversation entirely in another language.
