Discuss with iStro: Make Your Learning Interactive
When it comes to learning English, reading alone isn’t enough. True language development involves understanding, interacting, and expressing ideas. That’s why the “Discuss with iStro” feature in the iStoria app adds a fun and effective interactive layer to your learning journey.
What is the “Discuss with iStro” feature?
After completing each chapter in a story, you can tap on the “Discuss with iStro” option. Our smart assistant, iStro, will appear and first ask if you're ready to start a conversation.
Once you confirm, iStro begins asking you simple, interactive questions based on the story you just read. These questions are designed to help you think critically, reflect, and express your opinions in English—at a level that's appropriate for you.
To make the experience even more engaging, you can listen to iStro’s voice as it reads its messages aloud. This helps improve your listening skills and pronunciation naturally.
