  • 🔄 Ask your Lingua Bud to repeat a phrase if you didn't understand it.
  • 🎤 Ask your Lingua Bud if you can record your conversation and listen back to it later.
  • 📅 Set up a schedule to practice as much as possible. We suggest 10 minutes a day to start — 5 minutes in English and 5 minutes in Portuguese.
  • 😄 Don't worry about making mistakes or having a strong accent. Everyone has to start somewhere!
  • 🤝 Encourage your partner to keep going and give constructive feedback. Support each other.
