## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Be my conversation partner in [TARGET LANGUAGE, e.g. Italian]. My level is [YOUR LEVEL, e.g. beginner, about a year in]. We'll talk about [TOPIC YOU LOVE, e.g. my vegetable garden]. Speak slowly and simply, just a little above my level. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer. If my answers are short, ask a follow-up that gets me to say more. If I'm stuck, give me the first few words of an answer, not the whole thing. Don't stop to correct every mistake. When I say 'let's wrap up', switch to English and give me the five most useful phrases from today, my three most common mistakes with the natural way to say each, and two pronunciation tips.
