Soft skills / Speaking practice / 30-day plan

30-day spoken English plan

One short role-play a day: talk with an AI in a real-life situation, then read the feedback on your words. Every six days the focus changes. Miss a day? Just do the next one — there is no penalty. This is Shishya's own plan, not a course with a certificate. Ages 13+.

The five focuses

  1. Days 1–6: Answer in full sentences, not single words.
  2. Days 7–12: Be polite: please, thank you, could you, would you.
  3. Days 13–18: Ask one question back in every conversation.
  4. Days 19–24: Give a reason or an example with each answer.
  5. Days 25–30: When you get stuck, say it another way instead of stopping.
