I do not understand what I hear.
Day 31 of 57 · Week 5 · Handle problems
Restore phone and payment
Ask the Wi-Fi password and charger question. Recover from payment failure with a second option.
Start with the guided teaching
Tell success from failure, then ask for an alternative way to pay.
支付 is payment. The following word tells you its result: 成功 = success; 失败 = failure. Seeing 支付 alone is not proof that you have paid.
Read a payment screen and recover — complete guided explanation
Do the work in five passes
- Listen and pronounce — 25 min · shadow 6 phrases; compare a recording.
- Read and recognize — 25 min · complete the guided teaching, then read today’s words.
- Build and speak — 25 min · build a guided request; then make 10 variations.
- Solve a situation — 25 min · practice both sides, then hide the hints.
- Retrieve and review — 20–80 min · due review, quizzes, and a spoken recap.
Completion records effort; quiz results measure recognition. Neither proves conversational fluency. Use the interactive trainer for review scheduling and saved progress.
