Ready for the next exercises?
If you can understand and repeat most of these familiar sentences smoothly as complete thoughts, you are ready to move on to the next speaking exercises.
Before you begin
If you need a refresher, listen to the story or revisit Build. Keep the transcript closed for this check.
Listen, then repeat
Press Play. Listen to each whole sentence once, then repeat it aloud during the silence. Use the sentence’s natural rhythm. Use Pause / Continue to pause and resume. STOP ends the recording and returns to the beginning. Review the transcript afterwards if needed.

How did it go?
Could you understand and repeat most sentences smoothly, without rebuilding them word by word?
Yes — ready to continue. Continue with Substitution Drills.
Not yet — practise and try again. Return to the story or Build, then repeat this check.
Use your own judgement: this is a self-check, not an automatic score.
