# 开口前 · Before You Speak

> 给在海外用英语工作的中文母语职场人：不是和一个 AI 老师聊天，而是两个带真实口音的 AI 同事演你自己的场景（和经理 1:1、开会、茶水间闲聊、看医生、修车），轮到你时停下来等你插话；演完最多改两处，说错的句子进复习本，复习时用说的。免费注册，不用绑卡；目前不在中国大陆和港澳提供服务。
> A web app where Chinese-speaking professionals working abroad rehearse real English conversations with two AI colleagues who speak with real accents (Indian, Arabic, Italian, French, Polish and more) and cut in when it's their turn, rather than chatting one-to-one with an AI tutor; they get at most two corrections afterwards and review by speaking. Sign-up is free and open (no card; the free plan has two live AI conversation rounds and three scripted sessions a week, and a 7-day free trial of the membership); not available to users in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau.

名字：开口前，拼音 kāikǒu qián，意思是"开口说话之前"；英文名 Before You Speak；网址 kaikouqian.com 就是"开口前"三个字的拼音。开口前是英语口语练习产品，和贷款、借贷或任何金融服务都没有关系。
Name: 开口前 (pinyin kāikǒu qián) means "before you speak", which is also the English name; the domain kaikouqian.com is that pinyin. Before You Speak is an English speaking practice product and has nothing to do with loans, lending or any other financial service.

What it does (all live as of 2026-10-29):
- Practice scenes: two AI colleagues talk; the learner can cut in at any time. At each cue they stop, turn to the learner and wait without a time limit. Hints come in three tiers: first letters, then the English phrase with a meaning animation, then the Chinese.
- Own scenes: the learner writes four things in Chinese (what, who, what they want to say, facts only they know); a scene is generated in 2 to 3 minutes, as a rehearsal before an event or a replay after it. Details the AI filled in are listed separately so the learner can correct them.
- Feedback: after the conversation, at most two corrections with a Chinese explanation; they go into the learner's review book.
- Review by speaking: a colleague repeats the original line and the learner answers; scene maps and phrase families show progress.
- Connect your AI: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Antigravity, Tencent WorkBuddy and other MCP clients can create scenes and read review progress through an MCP connector (OAuth, scopes chosen by the learner; the persona card is write-only).
- Privacy: recordings are not stored (speech goes from the browser to speech recognition; the service receives text); chats, mail and files are not read.
