冠词：第一问不是「特指还是泛指」
「我买了车」译成 I bought car —— 这是不地道，还是错？
Copy the prompt, then pick a model. It plays the interviewer and asks you through it scene by scene instead of handing you the answer.
On a phone with the app installed, the system opens the app directly. Links cannot open external apps inside WeChat — open it in a browser first.
The copied text ends with the answer key the model grades you against. Don't read it yourself first — working it out on your own is the point.
中文没有冠词、也不强制标记单复数，所以这一块几乎全靠语感撞运气。而「a 泛指、the 特指」这句话听起来对、用起来没用 —— 因为它是第二步。
这一份要逼出来的是一个能当场用起来的两步顺序，第一步跟「特指泛指」一点关系都没有。想通之后，I have question、He is student 这类每天都在犯的错会一次性消失。
最后有五句翻译，译对了但说不出理由的会被单独标出来 —— 那是蒙的。

How to use this
This set teaches rather than interrogates: it guides you instead of pressing until you have nothing left to say. When you're stuck it first asks which layer you're stuck at (never heard of it / know it but not why / know why but can't use it), then decides what to give. Only after guiding you twice will it spell it out — and then it asks you to say it back in your own words.
**Not sliced by the textbook's table of contents.** "The 26 letters" is not about reciting the alphabet; it's about the handful of things you actually have to master before that piece is done — and that list is the answer key. Topic choice targets first-language interference: Chinese marks no tense, has no articles, and its pinyin is a one-to-one sound system. Those three facts dig the deepest holes.
How to start
- Pick one, open it, copy the prompt.
- Paste it into a brand-new conversation, say nothing, and wait for its first question.
- Say things out loud rather than only in your head. The speaking one runs entirely in English — you may ask for help in Chinese, but it keeps count.

Three traps
- Don't read the answer key at the end first. **The speaking one is the exception** — it has no answer key, only a scoring rubric, and that rubric is meant to be read first: if you don't know what's being looked at, you don't know what to practise.
- Don't let it write your sentences. Cut it off when it offers you a whole line — a ghostwritten sentence is one you still won't be able to produce next time.
- When it starts praising you, point it back to the "don't praise me" rule. Guiding is not coddling.
Starting from zero: the letters, then phonics. Can read and write but freeze when speaking: go straight to the speaking one and find out which dimension is weakest. Keep being told your writing sounds off: the perfect tense and the articles. The speaking one is worth repeating, with a different topic each time.
