Learn a language by talking about your day.

Talky is a live voice tutor. It speaks first, keeps every line short and at your level, puts your own language under it, and when you're stuck it gives you the line to say.

A conversation, not flashcards

You talk out loud about your own life: your name, your work, your family, what you ate today. One new piece at a time.

Talky talks with you

It speaks first and asks about your day. While you're starting, it explains in English, Spanish or Chinese. Each talk brings the phrases people say most, and comes back to the ones you've met.

Stuck? "You can say:"

Talky gives you the line with its meaning, and you say it. Tap any word of its line to hear it alone, slowly.

See what you said on your own

After every talk: the lines you said without help, the new ones, and your minutes. When it's too hard Talky slows down; when it's easy it adds more.

Questions

Is it a real person?

No. Talky is an AI voice tutor. It talks and listens live, like a call, and it can be wrong.

What happens to my voice?

During a talk your voice goes live to the AI services that hear and answer you, and isn't kept. Talky keeps the words of each talk, so the next one remembers you, until you delete your account. Nobody reads your talks.

Do I need to know any of the language?

No. You can start from zero: while you're starting, Talky explains in English, Spanish or Chinese, whichever you speak.

Where can I get it?

It's coming to the App Store, for iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Not in the EU or mainland China at first.

Android?

Not yet.
