Can I practice job interviews, meetings or everyday conversations?
Yes. Tell your coach what you need English for and when it's happening, and the practice follows it.

Yes. Verbalta is for the English you need in real life. The best way to get there is to tell your coach, out loud, what's coming up.
Job interviews
Say something like: "I have a job interview in English next Thursday. It's for a project manager role." Then practice it together: you answer out loud, the way you would in the room, and improve one thing at a time.
If you add the date, your coach keeps it in mind. With Event prep notifications on, you get a message the night before and the morning of. See How do I turn notifications on or off?
Work and meetings
Tell your coach about your job and the situations you find hard: giving an update, disagreeing politely, asking a question in a meeting, a call with a client. Practice the actual sentences you'll need.
Felipe is a good fit for this: he rehearses what you need to say on a call, in an interview or in an everyday situation. See How do I choose or change my coach?
Everyday conversations
Small talk, ordering, calling the doctor, talking to neighbors, travel. Talk about your day and your coach keeps the conversation going. Isabel is great if you'd like to talk about what interests you.
Choosing a focus at the start
In your first conversation, your coach asks what to work on first: Job interviews, Work meetings or Everyday English. You can always change direction later by telling your coach.
