You freeze in the moment
You know the theory and still lose the thread when someone challenges you. Rehearsing the exact exchange is the part reading cannot cover.
Rehearse before it is real
Practice the conversation before you have it
Reading about giving feedback is not the same as saying it out loud to someone who pushes back. Practice gives you a short scenario drawn from lessons you have already finished, asks you to reply the way you would in the room, and tells you what landed and what did not.

Challenge the claim. Keep the conversation open.
A three-question critical thinking exercise about an AI-written claim. Choose what you would say, then explore the reasoning.
Fictional situation, written explanations. This website example is separate from the app’s Practice, which responds to your own words.
Take the question into your next conversation.
What was counted? What is the fair comparison? What would change your mind?

A rehearsal, not a reading.
Practice is a role-play built from your own course. Cadence sets the scene, gives you a role and a task, and plays the other person. You type or dictate your reply, or on conversational exercises that suit it you speak and the other person answers out loud. You may get a follow-up before feedback, and the response you get is about the words you used rather than a score. You can also bring a real situation of your own: an upcoming conversation, message, or decision, and Cadence shapes the scenario around it.
In the app: Live practice
Find the words by saying them.
Learn an idea in your course. Try it in a spoken exchange with an AI practice partner. Then get feedback on what you said and what to try next.
- Bring the lesson into the room
A suitable conversational exercise gives you a situation, a role, and something to work toward.
- Hear a reply. Find your next words.
Speak naturally and hear your partner answer out loud. Rehearse a follow-up as well as your opening line.
- Leave with something to try
Get feedback on your attempt, then take the next step in your course. You can return to writing when you need to.
Which kind of audio?
Lesson voices read the lesson to you. Dictation turns your speech into a reply you send. Live practice is a spoken exchange with an AI partner. Ask Coach helps you understand the lesson.
Your live time
Free: 3 minutes a day. Plus: 15 minutes a day. Live time is separate from typed and dictated Practice, which remains unlimited on Plus.
Live practice is in the app now, on conversational exercises that suit it. Not every course has one yet. You need a microphone, and written exercises stay available. Feedback is generated and can be wrong, so treat it as rehearsal.
Who it is for
Use Practice when knowing it is not the same as saying it.
You have something specific coming up
A review, a pushback, a pricing call. Bring that situation and practise it rather than a generic example.
You want feedback on your words
Cadence responds to the reply you actually gave, not to whether you picked the right multiple-choice option.
You would rather make mistakes here
A scenario costs nothing when it goes badly. The real conversation does.
How it works
From a finished lesson to a useful rehearsal.
Start with a lesson
Practice uses what you have already learned. It can open after your first lesson, or later when your course reaches a suitable practice point. Open your course to see what is ready.
Pick a practice or bring your own
Open your course and choose Practice for scenarios built from your finished lessons. Choose Practice a real situation to describe what is actually coming up.
Reply as you would out loud
Type your response, dictate it, or speak it out loud where the exercise supports that, then send it. The other person may follow up before you get feedback, the same way a real conversation does.
Read what landed
You get specific feedback on the reply you gave. On Plus you can also take that attempt to Ask Coach and work through it.
Reviewed starting points
See the course before you begin.
Practice draws on the course you are already taking, so the scenarios match the skill you are building:
Feedback
Giving feedback that lands
→
Make feedback specific, useful, and easier for a teammate to act on without burying the point.
Communication
Difficult conversations at work
→
Name the real issue, lower the drama, and leave the conversation with an owner, decision, or next step.
Speaking
Speaking articulately
→
Organize your point under pressure so updates, questions, and explanations sound clear without sounding rehearsed.
Other ways to learn
Other ways to rehearse.
Different tools can serve the same learner at different moments. The useful question is what kind of structure, source, and practice you need now.
- You have not started a course yet
- Practice is built from finished lessons, so begin a course first. The daily lesson is the part that opens it.
- You want to rehearse with a person
- A trusted colleague or a coach will read tone, history, and politics that an app cannot. Practice is for the reps in between.
What it costs
Free every day, with an optional upgrade.
Plus costs US$49.99 per year or US$8.99 per month on the web, after a 7-day trial. Buying inside the iPhone app instead shows Apple's own prices at checkout.
Free
The Free plan includes 10 Practice runs a month, plus 2 practices with your own situations each month. Practice draws on lessons you have finished and is not included in every course.
Plus
Plus makes new lessons, custom courses, typed and dictated Practice, and Ask Coach unlimited, gives you 15 minutes of live voice practice a day, and adds coach review after a practice, offline lessons and audio, and all 12 lesson voices. Unlimited is for one person learning. Cadence pauses use that looks automated at a generous daily ceiling. If that ever stops you while you are learning normally, email support@learningcadence.app and it is lifted straight away. Web checkout shows the final amount and currency before purchase.

When Cadence may not fit
What Practice does not do.
- Practice depends on the lessons you have finished and the skills your course can help you rehearse. Not every course includes Practice.
- The Free plan includes 10 Practice runs a month, plus 2 practices with your own situations each month. Plus makes typed and dictated Practice unlimited and lets you create as many situations as you want. Live voice time has a separate allowance.
- Taking a finished attempt to Ask Coach for review is a Plus capability.
- Feedback is generated and can be wrong. Treat it as rehearsal, not as professional, legal, medical, or HR advice.
Questions
Before you choose.
What is Live practice, and can I use it now?
Yes, on conversational exercises that suit it. You speak with an AI practice partner that replies out loud, then get feedback on your attempt. It is separate from dictating a written reply. You need a microphone, not every course has a suitable exercise yet, and typed and dictated Practice stays available.
Will live voice practice be unlimited on Plus?
No. You get 3 live minutes a day on Free and 15 a day on Plus. Typed and dictated Practice has its own limits, and remains unlimited on Plus. The app shows how much live time you have left.
When does Practice become available?
Practice can open after your first lesson. Some courses need you to reach a later practice point first. Open your course to see what is ready.
How many practice runs do I get?
The Free plan includes 10 Practice runs a month, plus 2 practices with your own situations each month. Plus makes typed and dictated Practice unlimited and lets you create as many situations as you want. Live voice time has a separate allowance.
Can I practise something that is not in my course?
Yes. Practice a real situation lets you describe an upcoming conversation, message, or decision, and Cadence shapes the scenario around it and around the course you are taking.
Do I have to type, or can I speak?
You can speak. Type your reply, dictate it, or on conversational exercises that suit it hold the whole exchange out loud with a partner that answers back. Speaking needs a microphone, and not every course has a suitable exercise yet.
Is the feedback a score?
No. The response is about the reply you gave: what was clear, what was missing, and what to try instead. There are no streaks, badges, or due dates attached to Practice.
