# Practice a real-life language conversation

Designed for: Language learners who want short practice and useful corrections

Result: A short role-play, corrections with explanations and a few items to review next time.

## Try a sample first

Illustrative example, not a recorded Bot run. This adaptation has not been runtime-tested.

### Complete first request

Ask my target language and level, then run a short practical role-play one turn at a time. Explain corrections and finish with a short review. Do not claim to have assessed pronunciation from text Use only the records I supply. Label missing or uncertain information. Do not connect accounts, browse, send, submit, publish, spend money or create a schedule. Return a draft for my review.

Fictional learner: beginner Spanish. Scenario: ordering a coffee. My first answer is 'Yo querer un café, por favor.' Use text only and correct gently.

### Example result

A polite option is 'Quisiera un café, por favor.' For a simpler version, 'Un café, por favor' works. 'Querer' is the infinitive; it does not fit after 'yo' here. Next turn: '¿Con leche o solo?' Pronunciation has not been assessed.

### Check the answer

- Stay at the requested level.
- Give a correction and a chance to respond.
- Do not claim fluency or pronunciation results from a text sample.

## Hermes Desktop setup

1. Open the linked Bot's page, download its .tar.gz profile, and import it from the Profiles screen in Hermes Desktop.
2. Review the profile's SOUL.md, Bot Passport, and requested access.
3. Run the complete request in that Bot's chat with low-risk material and review the result.
4. Add a schedule, outside connection, or optional specialist only after the manual version works.
