# Ada™ Interactions

Interacting with Ada™ is an essential part of the NEI Method. It’s a fun and efficient way to achieve your Global Communication Goals!

## What is an Ada™ Interaction?

### There are three types of Ada™ Interactions:

**Micro-Topics**: Ada™ lets you know when your Micro-Topic is complete. (Each one takes about 10 minutes.)

**Flex Ada™**: Any conversation that is at least 6 turns. (Six turns means you talk at least 6 times.) If you continue at least 6 turns for your Replay Challenge Answer, that counts as an Ada Interaction.

**Vocabtivate™**: Every 10 vocabulary items you practice count as 1 Ada™ Interaction.

## Ada™ Interactions are required to earn your next Assessment!

### Find Countdown to Progress Speaking Assessment in the Account section of your NEI account

Each time you complete an Ada™ Interaction, the number will go down by one!

### What are Streaks?

A streak increases when you complete at least one qualifying Ada conversation (6 turns or more) **week after week**. If you skip a week, the streak resets and starts again.

Your **Current Streak** shows how many weeks in a row you have been active _up to now_.

Your **Longest Streak** shows the maximum number of consecutive weeks you have ever maintained. It reflects your best record so far, even if your current streak is shorter.
