Conversational Mastery
Like Duolingo, but for Conversational Mastery. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.

Key ideas in Conversational Mastery
- Pure questions create a 'ping-pong' interrogation feel
- Free Information is any detail shared beyond the direct answer
- Sharing a brief personal observation provides context for your next question
- Hooks can be nouns, emotions, or unusual circumstances mentioned in passing
- The loop ensures the other person doesn't feel like they are being interviewed
- Following a hook prevents the conversation from stalling on a dead end
- Applying the Statement-Question loop to balance the conversational flow
- Identifying 'Free Information' to find conversational hooks
- How questions focus on external processes and dry facts
- Why pivots reveal internal values and personal motivations
- Switching to 'Why' deepens the emotional connection of the talk
- Vulnerability in 'I' statements creates a 'safe space' for the other person
- Focusing on feelings rather than stats prevents appearing boastful
- Self-disclosure encourages the other person to share their own stories
- Distinguishing between factual 'How' and motivational 'Why' pivots
- Using 'I' statements to build vulnerability without bragging
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Conversational Mastery the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
If you ask 'How was your day?' and they say 'Good, I finally finished that painting,' what is the 'Free Information'?
