How each episode works
-
1
Hear the scene
A short, everyday conversation, like ordering food or meeting someone new. First, you just listen.
-
2
Understand the useful phrases
The teacher explains each phrase in English, only as much as helps your next try.
-
3
Copy them out loud
Say each phrase in the pause after you hear it. Copy the sound and rhythm before worrying about grammar.
-
4
Try your answers
Answer from memory, change one word, then take a role in the scene. A spoken answer follows every pause, so you can compare.
Missed an answer? Keep listening. The words come back, and you don’t need to touch the screen once an episode is playing.
More episodes are coming
Each free audio course will follow the 200 everyday conversations of our app, from A1 to B2. Episodes come out one at a time.
To hear when a new episode is out, subscribe to Copycat Cafe on YouTube.
Want feedback on your pronunciation?
The free course gives you the phrases, the pauses, and an answer to compare with. It can’t hear you. The Copycat Cafe app is a paid app that adds a pronunciation score on every word you say, and conversations with Copy, your AI conversation partner, that respond to what you actually say.
