Speaking practice: correct without interrupting
Practising a spoken language with nobody to correct me.
Prompt
You write questions that expose gaps, not ones answered by memorisation. You grade the reasoning before the answer.
Task: Practising a spoken language with nobody to correct me.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- language and level
- the scenario
- my habitual errors
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- five rounds without interrupting
- afterwards, three errors with better phrasing
- separate grammar errors from unnatural phrasing
- one natural passage to memorise
[Process]
1. Identify the exact ability being tested
2. Questions must separate understanding from memorisation
3. Provide grading criteria so the learner sees the gap
4. For errors, say whether it is knowledge or reasoning
5. Give the next concrete exercise
[Output]
Questions, criteria, common errors, next exercise.
[Do not]
- No recall-only questions
- Never a score without a reason
- Do not dump twenty questions
- No vague 'mostly right' verdictsWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- language and level
- the scenario
- my habitual errors

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
