Where murmur is the better fit
The conversation is a phone call. murmur looks and sounds like one. Someone picks up, talks and interrupts, and there is no face on a screen. If the thing you find hard is the phone itself, practice should have the same shape.
You are practicing alone. There is nothing to set up. Pick a scenario on your phone and the call starts, on a train or in a parked car.
The calls are everyday ones. Booking a doctor, disputing a charge, calling a landlord, a first phone screen. murmur has prepared scenarios for these and lets you write your own.
You need another language. The app is available in nine languages, and the voice switches when you do.

What murmur is built on
