Live voice rooms
A room is a group voice conversation, already going when you arrive. Listen first and unmute when you're ready, or open your own with a topic, a language, a level from A1 to C2, and a size: up to thirty people, or no limit at all.

What you can do on TalkYouApp
Language groups and meetups
Browse open groups in Discover and join one, or start your own for a class or club. A group keeps its chat going between meetups, and every meetup gets its own members-only room.
YouTube, together
Share a video in the room and everyone watches the same moment. Then shadow a phrase with its word-timed transcript, in any of ten languages.
Friends and streaks
Follow the people you enjoy talking with, message them, and grow a daily streak you'll want to protect.

Live practice
A room, a topic and people who want to talk
Every room shows its language, level and topic before you join, so you always know what you're walking into.
Listen first, speak when you're ready
Join quietly and get a feel for the room. When you want in, unmute, or raise your hand if the host keeps the microphone for speakers.
Type when a word won't come
Room chat sits next to the voice. Spell a name, drop a link or send a private reply to one person without stopping the conversation.
Never stuck for a topic
Open a conversation card for a ready question, or share a YouTube clip and talk about it together.

Every option below is useful for something. This is the one that puts you in a real conversation, today, for nothing.

| TalkYouApp voice rooms | Free | Other learners, and fluent speakers who join | Yes, whenever a room is open |
| AI speaking apps | Free tier or subscription | A model, not a person | Yes |
| Tutor marketplaces | Paid per lesson | A teacher you book | No, you book a time |
| General chat servers | Free | Whoever is around, on any topic | Yes, once you find the right server |
Around the conversation
Everything that brings you back tomorrow
Rooms are where you practice. These are the things that make the next conversation easier.
Notes and word lists
Save a phrase the moment you hear it, keep private notes and share a word list with a friend.
Direct messages
Carry on after the room ends with direct messages to the people you met.
A streak with a forest
Every day you spend time in a room grows your streak, and a small forest grows with it.
Your practice history
See the rooms you joined and the people you talked with, so you can find them again.
Safety
Built to feel safe to speak
Speaking a new language in front of strangers takes courage. These rules are there so it doesn't take more than that.
Every member has an account
There are no anonymous guests. Everyone signs in before joining a room, and blocks and reports follow the account.
Moderators who act
Room owners, co-owners and moderators can mute or remove someone on the spot, and TalkYouApp moderators review reports.
Women-only rooms
A room can be limited to women or to men, and a shared link can't get around it.
Nothing is recorded
Your voice goes to the people in the room and nowhere else. There is no recording feature. The minimum age is 13.

FAQ
Questions people ask before their first room
Is TalkYouApp free?
Yes. Voice rooms, groups and meetups, messages, YouTube together, Shadow, notes and streaks are all free. Plus ($5.99 a month, or once for 30 days) adds extras: Studio voice for a cleaner microphone, premium room looks, a Plus ring and badge, and two streak shields a month.
Are the people real, or is it AI?
Real. TalkYouApp has no AI conversation partners. Every voice in a room belongs to a member who signed up to practice, just like you.
Do I need to download an app?
No. TalkYouApp works in the browser on phones and computers, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Which languages can I practice?
Rooms and groups can be opened in 73 languages. English is by far the busiest; in the two weeks to 4 November 2026, Arabic and French rooms had a live conversation every day, and Hindi, Urdu, Spanish and Portuguese rooms most days. A room can have two languages, so you can also trade: your English for someone's Arabic, for example.
When are the rooms busiest?
Evenings from Western Europe to the Gulf: from 16:00 to 21:00 UTC, measured from 21 October to 4 November 2026. At quieter times, open a room with a clear topic or plan a meetup in your group.
How do I find a group to join?
Open Discover in the app to browse every public group. Filter by language or search by name; a group whose room is open right now is marked Live. Some groups let anyone in, others ask an admin to approve you.
Can I start a group for my class or friends?
Yes. A free account can run a language group of up to 1,000 members with its own chat, and plan meetups that get their own members-only voice room.
How do I practice with the same people every week?
Follow each other after a good conversation, then message them, or put your regulars in a language group and schedule a weekly meetup everyone sees in their own time zone.
Is it safe?
Everyone has an account, rooms have owners and moderators, you can block or report anyone, and rooms can be women-only. Nothing said in a room is recorded, and the minimum age is 13.
Can TalkYouApp see my Gmail or Google Drive?
No. Google sign-in only shares your basic profile, meaning your name, email address and profile picture, so we can create your account. TalkYouApp never asks for Gmail, Drive, Calendar or Contacts.
