- In each turn, the dynamic consists of performing a series of exercises to improve your pronunciation:

1. Challenging and accepting challenges from other users, which will make you alter your position in the ranking ("Play" section).

2. Limitlessly training lists of specific words, without altering your position in the ranking ("Training" section).

- Each "Play" match will subtract one daily entry (30 maximum per day, lightning symbol).

- At midnight the number of daily entries will be reset.

- The matchs are based on turns: a player takes turns and when he finishes, he can play the next one.

- Until all the turns of the players of a match are over, they will not add the points of that match to the ranking. At that moment the extra points of each one are calculated, depending on their position in the ranking.

- If a match is canceled by any of the participants, it will not add points (but it will subtract daily entry).

- Once a player's turn has started, if he leaves the match he will be considered as 0 points and the turn finished.

- In case of a tie in the match, those who have tied are considered winners.
