talksibi: Language Exchange

Talk Sibi

About this app

Learning a language from an app is easy. Getting the nerve to actually speak it with someone is the harder part, and that's what talksibi is built for.

Open it and you'll find real people learning and speaking the languages you're interested in — not bots, not scripted dialogue. Message someone, and translation sits right under every conversation, so a language barrier never has to stop you before you've started. When you write something a little off, gentle Correct and Grammar helpers show you what a native speaker would actually say, without breaking the flow of the chat.

When you're ready to speak out loud, join a live voice party. These are hosted audio rooms built around a language and a topic — a relaxed coffee chat in Spanish, a pronunciation session in English, whatever you're after. You can listen quietly until you're ready, then raise your hand to join in. Prefer to host? Pick your languages, make the room public or invite-only, and you're live in seconds.

Prefer face to face? Voice and video calls come with live translated captions, so you can follow along even when the other person speaks fast.

If jumping straight into conversation feels like a lot, word games are there to break the ice first. Play Codenames, Word Chain, Word Race, Guess the Word, Mind Meld or Who is the Spy? with people you meet — a light, funny way to get comfortable with someone before you're relying on them for a real conversation.

Want a steadier plan? The AI tutor builds you a short course of daily lessons from what you actually said this week — greetings, ordering coffee, small talk — a warm-up for the real conversations, not a replacement for them.

It works as a proper language exchange, too. Partner up with someone fluent in the language you're learning who is learning yours, and you each get real practice from a native speaker rather than paying for lessons.

Practise English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Arabic and more — whichever one you're learning, there are people speaking it here today.

And if you're working towards IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP, DELE, DELF or the Goethe exams, speaking is the part you can't revise alone. Voice parties and calls give you somewhere to rehearse it with real people before the day itself.

talksibi is for adults (18+) who want to practise a language with other people — ten minutes of chat on a commute, or a proper hour-long voice party at the weekend. A short selfie check earns you a Verified badge, so partners know you're really you, and every profile, message and party carries the same report and block tools, reviewed by a real team.

Free to use. No ads. No subscription needed to talk to people. Voice parties are never recorded.

What’s new

Creating a party is simpler: pick one language and you go straight back to the form, and the Done button is no longer hidden behind the navigation bar.

In chats, tap the quote on a reply to jump to the message it answers, and copy any message from its menu.

Photos now pinch-zoom properly.

New members get a welcome from the TalkSibi team once their profile is live.
