Step by step

How it goes

  1. 01

    Listen for meaning 3 min

    Read or hear the short scenario without planning a response.

    Use age-appropriate materials, protect personal information, and stop any task that feels unsafe, misleading or beyond your current competence.

  2. 02

    Paraphrase neutrally 3 min

    Restate the key message without blame, advice or exaggeration.

  3. 03

    Ask and check 3 min

    Ask one open question and confirm whether your understanding is accurate.

Listen to your body: stop if anything hurts, and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
