A conversation can
start with listening.

1. Join your first room

1. After signing up, add your native language and the language you are learning to your profile. Interests can give you something to talk about.
2. Open the Rooms tab and read the language and description of a room. A beginner-friendly room or a familiar topic can make a comfortable starting point.
3. Say hello in the text chat. Choose Listen to hear the conversation and music without using your microphone.
4. When you feel ready to speak, use the button to join the call. Depending on the room, the host or a moderator may need to approve your request. Check your microphone status too.

If you cannot find a suitable room, broaden the language filter or explore the Partners tab. Recommendation reasons can show a language exchange match, shared interests or overlapping availability. Availability is optional in your profile. A recommendation does not guarantee that someone will reply or join a call.

2. Host a beginner meetup

When creating a room, a beginner meetup template fills in its language, tags and suggested plan. You can change the title or description to suit your group. There are two ways to get started.

Draw & guess in 10 minutes

Say hello, then prepare three English drawing questions in the room’s activities. At least two players need to join before the game starts. One person draws while others guess the word. Even if you do not know the answer, try describing a colour, shape or use. Ten minutes is a suggested plan; your group can take its time.

Take turns in Korean & English

Start with names and how everyone feels today. Spend about five minutes speaking Korean, then five minutes speaking English, and finish by sharing one expression you learned. These times are suggestions rather than an automatic cutoff. The host can announce when to switch languages, and anyone can use the chat if they get stuck.

Try Two Truths and a Lie

In this introduction game, a volunteer writes three statements about themselves and marks one as a lie. Other participants vote anonymously for the statement they think is false. Once the answer is revealed, ask why people chose it and hear more about the true stories. Start with food, hobbies or other details you are comfortable sharing.

3. Practise a sentence privately

If talking to someone still feels like a big step, open the daily speaking practice. Choose Korean, English or Japanese, read the suggested sentence and record yourself.

1. Press the recording button and allow microphone access in your browser.
2. Say the sentence, stop the recording and listen back. Finishing it comfortably can be a useful goal; you do not have to speak quickly.
3. Choose the private completion option to record your practice activity without uploading the audio. No feed post is created.
4. Only choose to share the recording to the feed when you want others to hear it. You can also ask for corrections.

Private practice is not a permanent audio library, so listen before closing the composer. A correction request invites other members to help; it does not provide automatic pronunciation scoring or guarantee a correction. Optional daily reminders are available in the app. The web version does not provide the same daily reminder.

4. Keep a conversation going

You do not need a long introduction ready. Pick one request that would help you right now. These are examples to practise in conversation.

When you want to listen first

“I’d like to listen first today.”
“오늘은 먼저 듣고 싶어요.”

When someone is speaking quickly

“Could you speak a little more slowly?”
“조금만 천천히 말해 줄 수 있어요?”

When you miss a word

“Could you type that word in the chat?”
“그 단어를 채팅에 써 줄 수 있어요?”

When you want to hear more

“How did you get into that hobby?”
“그 취미는 어떻게 시작했어요?”

Give the other person time to finish and ask whether they want corrections before offering one. It is fine to say you would like a break. If something makes you uncomfortable, use blocking or reporting, or visit Support.

5. Save an expression and meet again

After a word or drawing game ends, you can save an answer from the results to your personal phrasebook. Try using a word you remember in your next conversation. If you would like to see the same people again, plan the room’s next meetup and reserve a reminder.

Your profile’s weekly summary shows time in room calls, days of speaking practice and expressions saved. Call time is not a measure of how much you spoke or a language proficiency score. Use the summary to choose what you would like to try next.

Speaking practice and daily check-in are separate records. Every seven consecutive days of using the check-in button earns a one-day Premium pass in your received gifts. The pass does not start immediately: activate it when you want to use it.
