Sacred Kai and Lumin / speaking

conversation role-play cards

Partner-ready role-play cards for this course level. Each card gives a scenario, speaker roles, target forms, constraints, and success checks so practice stays focused and assessable.

Sacred Kai and Lumin spaced review self-assessment model responses

learner boundary

Common Kai first

Sacred Kai, Lumin, vows, seals, chants, and name commentary are specialist layers. Every sacred line should have a plain Common Kai restatement before any inner reading or symbolic interpretation.

  • Give a plain Common Kai restatement.
  • Separate public meaning from private or symbolic resonance.
  • Never use sacred wording to hide uncertainty or avoid a practical answer.

routine

how to run a card

  • Read the scenario and assign roles before speaking.
  • Speak once slowly, then repeat with roles switched.
  • Use the constraints during the role-play, not as after-the-fact corrections.
  • Finish by checking the success criteria together.
