Advanced Kai role-play cards speaking prompts recording checklist

learner boundary

Common Kai first

Advanced work may compare technical, poetic, symbolic, and sacred choices. Start with exact Common Kai: the claim, condition, cause, request, or definition must be recoverable before register analysis.

  • Write the literal Common Kai sentence first.
  • Label technical, poetic, or sacred pressure separately.
  • Do not make legal, medical, safety, or practical instructions poetic.

routine

how to use models

  • Attempt the card or prompt before opening the model.
  • Compare your answer against the model's grammar, not only its vocabulary.
  • Use the why-it-works notes to revise one concrete part of your answer.
  • Record or perform the revised version once more.
