A2 on paper. Big plans in person.

Choose something observable: introduce yourself to a new person, explain a preference or ask for information about an activity.

Break it into the parts you need. A conversation about weekend plans might involve asking a question, naming an activity, explaining a time and responding to a suggestion.

Try it once and note what you can manage independently. Ask a teacher to help identify the next useful step. This informal exercise does not replace an assessment or certification.

If the task is comfortable, add a follow-up question or an unexpected change. If it is overwhelming, reduce it to a shorter exchange.

You do not need to make every practice activity more difficult to make it worthwhile. Sometimes the useful work is saying something familiar with fewer prompts.

Keep the task connected to a real interest. It is easier to explain what you want from a lesson when you can name the conversation you actually care about.

Nattive's goal is to fund 100,000 hours of live English teaching for learners who cannot afford private language education. Paid lessons contribute toward Classroom, our funded group-course program.

Your own target might be telling a story in German. The shared target is broader access to teaching. We want a community that takes both seriously.

Before booking, choose a teacher who works with your level and goals. Tell them what you have studied and what you can already do, then explain the real-life task you want to practice.

Your level is useful information. The story behind it is useful too.
