Situations

Situations are hand-picked sets of expressions for specific circumstances: taxi, shop, hotel, doctor, airport, messaging. This is not generated around your dictionary but a ready list of what you will actually need on the spot.

How they differ from dialogues and phrases

Dialogues are built around your dictionary and level — they differ from person to person.
Phrases are about drilling expressions to automaticity, on a review schedule of their own.
Situations are a curated reference by topic: look, break down, take what you need.

Hence the different use. Situations are handy to open before a trip or a specific conversation, when what matters is not practice in general but one particular set of expressions.

What is inside

Each situation is a set of phrases with a breakdown: translation, reading and an explanation of why it is put that way. Familiar words stand out immediately, so situations are a good way to check how what you have covered adds up to real speech.

Your level does not apply here

Situations are not tied to your HSK level: the taxi set is the same for a beginner and for an advanced learner. It is a reference by circumstance rather than a step in a programme, so you can open it at any time.

What to do if…

I cannot find the situation I need

The catalogue is curated and covers the main everyday circumstances. If your topic is missing, write to support — such requests shape what appears next.

The phrases feel too hard

Situations do not adapt to your level — this is ready-made real speech. Break a phrase down and take into your dictionary whatever will be useful: it will then come back for review.

I want to practise these phrases, not just read them

Take them into your dictionary and they will enter your ordinary sessions. For drilling whole expressions there is a separate phrases track.
