Goal: get letters, bills and leaflets explained simply.

What you'll learn

• Get a plain explanation
• Ask what you need to do

Step 1 · Explain it

Take a photo of the document (covering names, numbers and addresses) or paste the text, then ask:

Explain this in plain English. What does it mean for me, and is there anything I need to do or a deadline?

Step 2 · Medical leaflets

It's fine to ask "What does this word mean?" about a medicine leaflet. Decisions about medicine belong with your doctor or pharmacist.

Try it now

Pick a confusing letter or bill (an old one is fine). Cover private details and ask for a plain explanation.
