Correction boundaries
Agree on correction before the family call
Choose one or two reviewed correction targets, ask whether feedback is welcome, and decide whether to correct now, save for later, or skip. The family relationship remains more important than completing a drill.

Before the call
Ask, limit, and choose a pause signal
- Ask the family member whether they want to help with correction during this call.
- Select one or two reviewed correction targets, such as one phrase or transition.
- Choose correct now, save for later, or skip for each target.
- Agree on a simple pause signal and a shared-language fallback when meaning matters more than practice.
During the call
Keep feedback specific and optional
Correct only the agreed target and stop when either person uses the pause signal. Do not treat every difference in regional variety, register, accent, or family usage as an error. Ask a trusted speaker familiar with the intended family variety to review any revised phrase after the call.
Boundary
No identity or proficiency judgment
HeritageCallAI does not judge accent, identity, belonging, fluency, pronunciation, grammar authority, family dynamics, or whether a correction is universally right. It does not translate, contact family members, monitor calls, or guarantee learning or relationship outcomes.
Keep the call private
Do not secretly record, transcribe, or score the call. Keep names, contact details, health, finances, immigration matters, disputes, and private family disclosures out of the planner.
