What if I don't understand my coach?
Read the words on the screen, replay the voice, slow it down, or just ask. You can ask in Spanish or Portuguese.

That's normal, and there are several ways to get there.
- Read it. Every word your coach says is on the screen.
- Hear it again. Tap Replay under your coach's words.
- Slow it down. Open Conversation settings (the button at the top right of Talk) and move Voice speed toward Slower. See How do I make my coach speak slower?
- Ask. Say "Sorry, can you say that again?" or "What does that mean?" You can also ask in Spanish or Portuguese. See Can I speak Spanish or Portuguese with my coach?
If the words are hidden
If you turned off Show your coach's words in Conversation settings, each reply shows a Show text button instead. Tap it to read that reply, or turn the setting back on.
