Want to practise speaking before your test but have nobody to practise with? Harper, the AI speaking partner, asks IELTS-style questions one at a time in the chat: Part 1 everyday questions, Part 2 cue cards and Part 3 discussion. Write your answer as you would say it, and Harper usually gives short feedback on fluency, vocabulary and grammar plus a stronger sentence to try. This is an independent practice tool and is not connected to any test organisation.
1. Pick Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 or say go. 2. Read the question or cue card and write your answer as if you were speaking. 3. Read the feedback: what worked, what to fix and a model sentence. 4. Say your improved answer out loud, then try the next question.
Part 1 is a short interview about familiar topics like home, work, study and hobbies. Part 2 gives you a cue card and asks you to talk on one topic for one to two minutes. Part 3 is a discussion with deeper questions linked to the Part 2 topic. Harper lets you practise each part on its own or in a mini test.
After an answer you usually get what worked, up to two things to fix on fluency and coherence, vocabulary, or grammar, and a stronger model sentence. Harper only reads text, so it cannot judge pronunciation or speed: record yourself and listen back for that. Ask for a rough band range and you get a practice guide, not an official score.
Answer in full sentences, then add a reason and an example. Do not memorise whole answers: a natural reply is better than a recited one. Practise a little every day, record yourself speaking and compare it with your written answer. Use the real test organisation's official materials for exact test rules and format.
What is an AI IELTS speaking practice partner?
A chat that asks IELTS-style speaking questions and gives feedback on your answers. It is an independent practice tool and is not connected to the organisations that run the test.
Is the AI IELTS speaking practice free?
Yes, you can practise for free. Chats are paced, so very heavy use in a short time can mean a short wait.
Does it give me an official band score?
No. If you ask, it gives a rough practice range based on your written answer. It is only a guide and does not predict your test result.
Can it check my pronunciation?
No. It reads text, so it cannot hear you. For pronunciation, record yourself, listen back and compare with a native speaker.
Are these real test questions?
No. The questions are practice questions in the same style as the test. The AI never claims a question is a real or recent exam question.
Can I use it for other English tests or for general speaking practice?
Yes. The question styles also suit general conversation practice, and you can ask for easier or harder questions at any time.
