You're matched with someone learning your language, so you each speak your own — and both of you see both, live, as it is spoken. Week by week the translation steps back, until the words are yours.
TwinTalk, in a minute
Messages are safe, so months go by and you never actually speak.
The pressure to already be good is exactly what keeps you from getting good.
Borrowed photos, empty profiles, and people who aren't there to learn.
What happens
Tell us what you speak and what you're learning.
You're matched with a person who needs exactly what you already have.
Speak your own language from minute one. The support fades as you improve.
Before every session the two of you pick what it is for. One is a conversation with nothing on top of it, one is a question at a time, and one is a deck of nine games.
Either of you can change this mid-call, and nothing you have already done is lost.
Mode one
No cards, no game. The two of you on a call.
Some evenings you already know what you want to say. This is the same call with nothing on top of it — live captions both ways, and nothing on screen asking you to do anything. It sits first in the menu, at the same weight as the rest, because choosing it is not opting out of something.
Mode two
One question at a time, and the road the two of you are walking.
A card arrives with one question on it, written in both your languages. You answer, you hear theirs, and the next one comes. 8 subjects across 4 stages, and 6 formats on the last one — so the week you finally run out of small talk is the week the cards get more interesting.
See the whole roadMode three
Nine games, and not one of them is a vocabulary test.
This is the one that makes an hour go missing. You bluff about a subject you know nothing about, you argue about the right order of five things, you leave the screen to fetch something broken you never threw out. The language happens because you were busy doing something else — which is the only way it ever happens.
What is in their fridge that has been there far too long?
냉장고에 너무 오래 들어 있는 게 뭘까요?
The deck
Nine games, nine shapes. Every card below is the real one, at the size it is dealt.
Support starts under every word and steps back as you stop needing it. The line climbing the chart is how much of the conversation is yours.
Week twelve: four words in five are your own.
A guided road with a scene at every turn, so every call has somewhere to go.
Walk them through your morning.
Mornings, routine, how a day runs
What you eat on an ordinary Tuesday.
Meals, cooking, what you eat
You're lost in Seoul. Ask how to get back.
Home, your street, your city
Explain what you actually do all day.
Work, study, what fills the hours
Desktop, laptop, tablet, phone. The layout is redrawn for each one rather than shrunk to fit — their face stays the largest thing on the screen at every size, because that is the half of a conversation a small window usually loses first.
Two faces side by side and the card in a rail beside them, with room for both languages at once.
Nothing to install. It runs in the browser you already have, on the device already in your hand.
Start on a laptop, finish on a phone. The call follows you.
Camera on, both sides, from the first second. There's no profile photo to borrow and no empty account to hide behind.
Every call is face to face.
They're gone from your calls the moment you tap it. You won't be matched with them again.
From the call, after it, or from their profile. A person at TwinTalk reads every report with the last five minutes of the call's captions and chat, and can warn, pause or close the account. They're never told who reported them.
A friend from a language app. Your partner's parents. A grandmother who never learned English. TwinTalk turns "we can't really talk" into a call you can both enjoy, each of you in your own language.

The plans differ in how often you talk. They do not differ in what you get when you do — there is no tier where a mode, a game, a language or a minute of the call is held back.

No. You speak your own language from the first minute and your partner sees it translated live.
No, because it fades. Caption support steps back as you improve, so over time more of the conversation is in your own words.
Story mode gives every call a scene, so there's always somewhere to go.
Someone who speaks the language you're learning and is learning yours, on camera from the first second.
