Drills don't transfer. This does. Real scenarios — dialect-specific, speed-authentic, socially pressured. Your pronunciation is scored in the conditions where it actually matters.

"Procedural automaticity requires retrieval under pressure, not just under study conditions." — DeKeyser (2007)

Today's scenario stack

Café à Montréal

Québécois

Low pressure

Ordering your usual. The barista is distracted.

"Un grand café, s'il vous plaît — mais avec du lait, pas de crème."

/ʁ//ɛ//ɥi/UUS 74

Réunion d'équipe

Parisien

High pressure

You need to interrupt politely. Everyone is watching.

Pharmacie

Québécois

Medium pressure

Explaining symptoms. The pharmacist asks you to repeat.

Pressure unlocks transfer

A phoneme drilled in isolation rarely transfers. The scenario adds cognitive load — split attention, real-time processing, social stakes. This is where automaticity forms.

Dialect-specific context

The Montréal barista doesn't sound like a Parisian actress. Every scenario calibrated to your dialect — accent, rhythm, register, vocabulary.

Pressure gradient

Low → medium → high. HEXI advances scenario difficulty only when your phoneme scores are stable at the previous level. Never thrown in before you're ready.

Real-world registry

Café, pharmacy, meeting, street. CEFR registry levels from informal to professional — each scored for the specific phonemes it stresses.

Real pressure.

Real transfer.
