How it works
- On the start screen, choose 🗣️ Practice English under “I’m here to”.
- We match you first with other people practising English.
- Chat by text, and when you’re both ready, switch to a private voice call to practise speaking.
- Or join the 🗣️ English Practice room to chat with everyone at once.
Why practise with strangers?
Speaking is the skill most learners find hardest, mostly because of nervousness. Talking to a stranger takes the pressure off: they don’t know you, nobody is grading you, and you can always start again with someone new.
Tips for a good practice chat
- Start with an easy topic. Tap “Ask today’s question” for one.
- Ask open questions: “What did you do today?” rather than “Are you fine?”
- It’s fine to say “Sorry, can you say that again?”. Everyone is learning.
- Be patient and kind. Correct gently, and only if they ask.
- Never share personal details like your phone number or address.
Questions
- Is it free to practise English here?
- Yes. Matching, chat, voice calls and rooms are all free, with no sign-up.
- Can I practise speaking, not just typing?
- Yes. Once you’ve both sent a couple of messages, either of you can start a voice call, and it only connects if the other person accepts.
- Are the people I meet teachers?
- No. They’re other people practising, like you. It’s friendly conversation practice, not a lesson.
