How it works

From your first hello to a weekly habit

TalkYouApp works in four steps: create a free account, pick a live voice room by language, level and topic, talk with the room chat beside you, then follow the people you enjoyed and come back tomorrow. It runs in the browser on a phone or a computer, and every room needs an account.

TalkYouApp is a place to speak a language with real people. Here's the whole thing in order: make an account, find a room, talk, and then use friends, groups and a daily streak to turn it into a habit. It runs in your browser on a phone or a computer, and all of it is free.

Rooms for talking

Live voice rooms at every level from A1 to C2, with a chat beside the conversation.

People for coming back

Friends, messages, calls and language groups with meetups keep the people you meet.

Tools for remembering

Notes, word lists, Shadow and your history hold on to what came out of each conversation.

1. Make a free account

Sign up with email or Google. It takes about a minute, costs nothing and asks for no card. There's nothing to install: TalkYouApp runs in the browser on phones and computers, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Every room needs an account, including a room you reach from a friend's link. That's deliberate: it's what makes blocking, reporting and bans actually work. Google sign-in only shares your basic profile, meaning your name, email address and profile picture, never your Gmail, Drive, Calendar or Contacts.

2. Find a room, or open one

The lobby shows the rooms that are live right now, each with its language, level and topic. Pick one that fits your mood. If nothing does, open your own: choose the language, a level from A1 to C2 or Mixed, and a topic that gives people an easy first question. Your room appears in the lobby straight away.

You can also shape who comes in. Rooms can be public or kept out of the lobby, friends-only, password-protected, limited in size, or limited to women or to men.

3. Talk

Join and listen for a minute if you like, then say hello. In most rooms everyone can speak; in some, the host keeps the microphone for speakers and you raise your hand. Type in the room chat when a word won't come, or send a private reply to one person. Turn your camera on if you want to; most rooms are voice-first.

When the conversation needs a push, open a conversation card with a ready question, or share a YouTube video that the whole room watches in sync. Then open Shadow to practice a line from it with a timed transcript.

4. Keep the people

Enjoyed talking with someone? Follow them; when you follow each other you're friends. Message them, call them one-to-one, or invite them to your next room. For a bigger circle, start a language group with its own chat, and plan meetups: now, whenever members are free, or at a set time. Each meetup gets its own members-only voice room.

5. Make it a habit

Every day you spend time in a room adds to your streak, and a small forest grows with it. Save phrases to notes and word lists as you hear them, and use your history to find the rooms and people you practiced with. Little and often beats one long session a month, and the streak is there to remind you of that.

Practical answers

Questions about how it works

Do I have to install an app?

No. TalkYouApp runs in the browser on phones and computers. You can add it to your home screen if you want it to open like an app.

Can I join a room from a link without an account?

No. A link takes you to a specific room, but everyone registers or signs in before joining. It keeps every room accountable.

Can I type instead of speaking?

Yes. Room chat sits beside the voice conversation, and you can send a private reply to one person. Most people mix both.

Which languages can I practice?

Rooms and groups can be opened in 73 languages, and English is the busiest. A room can have two languages, which is how people run a language exchange here.

How do I find the same people again?

Follow them, check your history of rooms and people, or start a language group and plan a meetup.

Is the name TalkYouApp or Talk You App?

TalkYouApp is the official name. People often type Talk You App when searching; both mean talkyouapp.com.
