Good IELTS speaking practice means answering Part 1, 2 and 3 style questions out loud, timed, with feedback on the four things examiners assess: fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. AccentLoop offers free, unofficial practice: talk with an AI partner and get corrections afterwards. It is not affiliated with IELTS and gives no official band scores.
How to practise IELTS speaking with AI
- Start the conversation above and tell your partner: “Ask me IELTS Part 1 questions about my hometown.”
- Answer in 2–3 sentences each — a direct answer, a reason and a detail.
- For Part 2, ask for a cue card topic, take 1 minute of notes, then speak for up to 2 minutes.
- For Part 3, ask for follow-up discussion questions and give longer, opinion-based answers.
- Read the summary: corrections, better phrasing and vocabulary.
- Check any mispronounced words in the pronunciation checker.

The IELTS Speaking test in brief
The Speaking test is the same for IELTS Academic and General Training. It is a face-to-face conversation with an examiner lasting 11–14 minutes, in three parts.
| Part | Length | What happens | How to practise here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 — Introduction and interview | 4–5 min | Questions about familiar topics: home, work, studies, hobbies | Ask the AI partner for Part 1 questions on one topic |
| Part 2 — Long turn | 3–4 min | A cue card topic, 1 minute to prepare, then speak for up to 2 minutes | Ask for a cue card, set a 1-minute timer, then speak |
| Part 3 — Discussion | 4–5 min | Abstract follow-up questions linked to Part 2 | Ask for “Part 3 discussion questions” and give reasons and examples |
The four criteria and how to practise each
Examiners assess four equally weighted criteria. Each one maps to something you can practise daily:
| Criterion | What it means | Daily practice |
|---|---|---|
| Fluency and coherence | Speaking at length without long pauses, with clear linking | Answer with “because… for example… so…” |
| Lexical resource | Range and accuracy of vocabulary, including less common words | Note 3 new words from each conversation summary and reuse them |
| Grammatical range and accuracy | Mix of simple and complex sentences, few errors | Use one conditional or relative clause per answer |
| Pronunciation | Clear sounds, stress and intonation that are easy to follow | Check red words in the pronunciation checker |
Answer frames for each part
Part 1: direct answer + reason + detail
“Do you like cooking?” → “Yes, I do, mostly at weekends. It helps me relax after a busy week. Last Sunday I tried making dumplings from scratch — they weren’t pretty, but they tasted great.”
Part 2: past, present, feelings, why
Use your minute of notes for four keywords: what happened, what it is like now, how you felt, why it matters. Speaking through all four fills the two minutes naturally.
Part 3: opinion + reason + example + other side
“Should children learn to cook at school?” → give your view, one reason, an example, then “On the other hand…” before your conclusion.
Common IELTS speaking mistakes
- Memorised answers — examiners notice them; practise frames, not scripts.
- One-word Part 1 answers — always add a reason or detail.
- Stopping early in Part 2 — keep going until the examiner stops you.
- Rare words used wrongly — accuracy matters as much as range.
- Ignoring pronunciation — a few unclear sounds can make whole answers hard to follow.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official IELTS speaking test?
No. It is free, unofficial practice. AccentLoop is not affiliated with IELTS or its owners, and it does not give band scores. Use official materials for the exact format and band descriptors.
Can I practise IELTS speaking with AI for free?
Yes. 5 minutes of spoken conversation and 10 pronunciation checks a day are free, with no account.
How long is the IELTS Speaking test?
11–14 minutes, in three parts. It is the same for Academic and General Training.
What are the four IELTS speaking criteria?
Fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. They are equally weighted.
How can I practise IELTS speaking alone?
Answer questions out loud with a timer, record yourself, and get feedback. An AI partner adds follow-up questions, which is closer to the real test than talking to yourself.
Does accent affect my IELTS speaking score?
Having an accent is not penalised. What matters is how easy you are to understand — clear sounds, stress and intonation.
Do you store my recordings?
No. Your recording is analysed and then discarded.
