In a typical language class, kids speak the language less than 2% of the time.

They memorize, repeat, click. They learn about a language. After years of lessons, most still can't hold a basic conversation.

Our approach

In Talky, speaking is the only way to progress.

No multiple choice. No tapping the right word. Children take on missions in a simulated world — and the only way through is to use the language.

Most language apps

Learning about a language

  • Tap, swipe, multiple choice
  • Passive vocabulary drills
  • One-size-fits-all progression
  • No visibility on actual struggle
Talky

Learning by using it

  • Real spoken dialogue with AI
  • Mission-based, narrative-driven
  • Adapts to each child in real time
  • ~50% active speaking time
How it works

Learning becomes a loop of action.

Every mission follows the same shape — not a quiz, but a real attempt at communication.

Speak to progress

The only way to complete a mission is to speak. The AI listens, reacts, and adapts in real time.

Behind Talky

Built by a language teacher who got frustrated.

"I watched kids study for years and still freeze when someone spoke to them. I built Talky because I wanted them to actually use the language — not just know about it."

Talky was created by Claudia Ferreira , a language educator and applied linguist with 12 years in the classroom. After watching student after student leave language courses unable to hold a real conversation, she set out to build something different.
