FAQ
Questions
How do I practise giving a code review in English out loud?
Pick a short snippet, explain what the code does in one sentence, then say what is unclear or risky and suggest a next step. Record yourself here and compare with the model answer — speaking beats only writing comments.
How do I give a code review in English without sounding mean?
Name the problem, not the person, and suggest a next step. Pattern: what is hard to follow + a concrete ask. This drill scores clarity and gives kinder phrasing you can reuse on real PRs.
Do I need perfect English before I review code at work?
No. Clear structure matters more than accent or perfect grammar. Practise the same three beats every time: summary, concern, ask — then refine wording with the feedback here.
Is my recording saved?
No. Audio stays in your browser for transcription; we don’t store recordings or review text after feedback. Still avoid reading proprietary secrets aloud.
