How it works

Pick, request, and start talking

  1. 1

    Choose a language to learn

    Pick a language on the home screen to see people who can teach it. Those available right now appear at the top.

  2. 2

    Check the profile and request

    See the languages they can teach, their level, recommendation rate and price per minute at a glance.

  3. 3

    Talk face to face

    Your request rings for 30 seconds if they're online, or 1 minute if they're offline. If they don't answer, you aren't charged.

Carrots

Pay only for the seconds you talk

Top up Carrots and they're deducted by the second while you talk. Before you call, we show how many minutes your balance covers.

  • Billed per second

    Even a call shorter than a minute is charged only for the seconds you talked.

  • No answer, no charge

    If they don't pick up, your Carrots stay where they are.

  • Time left, always visible

    Check your remaining time even during a call.

Live captions

Missed a word? Read it.

See what your partner says as captions in your own language during the call, so the conversation keeps flowing even when you get stuck.

Earn with your language

Your language is someone's opportunity

If there's a language you can teach, you can take calls. You set the price and the hours you're available.

  • You set the price

    Choose your price per minute and change it any time.

  • Only when you want

    Set your available hours and switch off whenever you need a break.

  • Earn Stars, cash out

    Stars build up after each call, and you can withdraw them as cash.

Recommendations

See who people want to talk to again

After each call, choose “Would talk again” or “Not quite” and leave a one-line note. Profiles show the recommendation rate and call history.

Safety

Built so you can talk with peace of mind

  • Adults only

    We verify that you're an adult before your first call.

  • Yellow & red cards

    Confirmed bad behavior earns a warning. Repeat it and you're permanently banned.

  • No screenshots or recording

    Call screens can't be captured or recorded.

  • Report & block

    Report and block anyone who makes you uncomfortable, during or after a call.
