Best first scene for Spanish
Start with travel and service situations because it creates concrete replies, not abstract grammar explanations. The goal is to answer, repair one sentence, and answer a related follow-up.
Prompt to try
Order lunch, ask what the server recommends, and respond when they ask about preferences.
Correction target
Tell the AI tutor to listen for rolled r, b/v, vowel clarity, rhythm, and natural question intonation. One target keeps the session useful when the learner normally struggles with knowing useful Spanish phrases but falling back to English when the reply is unscripted.
Prompt to try
Ask me one Spanish question at a time. Correct only the mistake that stops my answer from sounding natural, then make me repeat the sentence.
How to measure progress
A good session ends with one corrected Spanish sentence that can be reused tomorrow. Do not count only minutes studied; count whether the learner stayed in the spoken exchange.
Prompt to try
Make me reuse my corrected Spanish answer with one changed detail.
