L'educazione per gli italiani

JIM: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara?
CHARLES: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at 
Steve’s party?
JIM: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party.
CHARLES: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is
my friend Jim.
MARY: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you.
JIM: You, too. Would you like a drink?
MARY: Sure, let’s go get one.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Who’s” is the contracted form of who is. It is pronounced the same way as “whose” (/
huwz/), but the meaning is different.
• Didn’t you meet her …? Notice that this is a negative question. Charles thought that Jim 
had met Mary before. He is now surprised that Jim does not know Mary, and so he uses a 
negative question to show his surprise.
• I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Notice that the emphasis here is on “at” although prepositions 
normally have weak stress. In this case, “at” means “there” (I wasn’t there).
• Mary, this is my friend Jim. This is a friendly way to introduce two people. It’s 
common to follow this with “Jim, this is Mary.” In this case, Mary says “Hi, Jim” first.
• Nice to meet you. This is a typical response after you’ve been introduced to someone.
• “Sure” is often used in informal conversation to mean “yes.”

Day4: Informal Introduction in English

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — but which AI tools actually help English learners, OET candidates, and IELTS speakers improve? In this episode, Kevin breaks down the difference between companion bots, language‑learning apps, and general AI assistants like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok.

You’ll learn:

Why “companion bots” (Character AI, Replika, Nomi, etc.) create the illusion of connection

The risks of emotional dependence and why these bots are not real training tools

Which language apps genuinely help with fluency, pronunciation, and confidence

How tools like Duolingo Max, Speak.com, Elsa Speak, Practica, Bold Voice, and others compare

Why AI cannot replace a real teacher — especially for OET and IELTS

How to use ChatGPT/Copilot/Grok properly for OET role‑play, speaking practice, and delayed feedback

The three criteria that define a real training tool (forced output, delayed feedback, repetition)

Kevin also explains his own workflow for creating OET audio exemplars, transcripts mapped to clinical communication criteria, and how learners can combine AI with human coaching for the best results.

If you’re preparing for OET, IELTS, or simply want to improve your English speaking skills using AI, this episode gives you a clear, honest roadmap — without the hype.
