2. Update the language settings manually

Option A: Tell Sparky to add speaking and/or listening

You can specify any combination of text or speech from Flint and the students. By making this request in the "Build with Flint" chat, Flint will update the settings for you.

Option B: Update the language settings manually.

You can switch over to the "Build manually" tab to edit the settings yourself. It will be found in the third section titled "Language".
