Practise English for freelance client calls

Freelancers on global platforms win or lose projects on a short call: understanding what the client needs, explaining your approach, agreeing scope, and quoting your rate with confidence. Written English gets you the interview; spoken English gets you hired.

Airi plays the client so you can rehearse the whole call. Practise the discovery questions, presenting your portfolio, saying your rate without apologising, pushing back on scope creep, and confirming deadlines. Do it a few times and the real call feels like a conversation you have already had.

A quick example with Airi

I'm your client. So, tell me a bit about how you'd approach this project.
First I will understand your goal, then I make a plan and share it with you before I start.
Small fix: "then I'll make a plan." Sounds organised. What's your rate?
My rate is forty dollars per hour, and I can give a fixed price after I see the full scope.
Clear and confident — that's how you say a rate. Nice.

How to get the most from it

Ask before you pitch

Discovery questions show you listen. Rehearse a few good ones out loud.

Say your rate plainly

State the number and stop. Practise until it comes out without hesitation.

Guard the scope

Rehearse politely saying "that would be a change request" so you're not caught off guard.
