Coffee shop
Order a drink and make small talk
Sara · Barista
Speaking practice for real conversations
Say it out loud.
Turn on your mic and say anything.
The words react to your voice. Nothing is recorded or sent.
Rehearse the English conversations that make you nervous with a partner who plays the other person: the barista, the border officer, the interviewer. Then get notes on what you actually said.
A paid plan is required for live practice.
- ordering a flat white
- passport control
- a job interview
- describing a sore throat
- asking for a raise
- splitting the bill
- returning a broken laptop
- small talk with a neighbor
You rehearsed the answer in the shower. Then they asked a follow-up. YapNow lets that moment happen here first.
The cast
Six doors you’ll walk through anyway. Knock on one.
Each scene has someone waiting on the other side: a barista, a border officer, an interviewer. They speak first, and they answer whatever you say.

Example: Return a laptop that stopped working after a week.
How it works
Then you’re in the room. No script for your half.
Your partner talks. You answer out loud, in your own words, and they react. Subtitles and word meanings are there when you need them. Afterwards, the notes.
Int. Coffee shop — morning
Sara (barista)
Hi! What can I get you today?
You
Could I get a flat white with oat milk, please?
Clear and polite. Keep this one.
Sara
Sure. Anything to eat?
You
Um, what is that… the round bread?
“Bagel.” Next time: “What’s that one called?”
Sara
That’s a bagel. Would you like it toasted?
You
Yes, please. For here.
She’ll ask “for here or to go?” Say it before she does.
Sara
Lovely. That’s $7.40.
Your level
Turn it up, or down.
Set your speaking level and how you like corrections. Your partner changes its words, its pace and when it steps in.
Officer Martinez
Good morning. What’s the purpose of your visit, and how long are you staying?
I am here for conference.
Ah, “I’m here for a conference.” And how long will you stay?
Your partner may fix one small thing, then carry on.
