TwinTalk Exchange, start to finish
How it works
Four steps, and the student owns every one of them.
- 1
Verify you're a student
A six-digit code to your school email. We keep only that the address is yours and which school it belongs to.
- 2
Meet a student on the other side
Matched at your level, at an hour you're both awake. One partner for the term, the same hour every week.
- 3
Talk every week
Half in each language, with captions both ways and topic cards for the quiet moments. Your pod covers a missed week.
- 4
Your Twin, if you want it sent
After a few calls the Twin reads how you speak. Send it to your professor, or keep it to yourself.
Students only, by design
TwinTalk introduces a verified student only to other verified students. It's checked on our server every time two people are put together, never by hiding things in an app.
- Verified students
- Everyone else on TwinTalk
- 1Your own invitationSomeone you already know: you invite them, and that call is yours, outside the Exchange.
- 2Other learners, if you chooseOnly after three days without a student partner, only if you tick the box, only trusted members.
Nobody outside can find, add, book or invite a student first.
What it costs
Free to start, and three ways to keep going
Nobody pays to try it, and no student is ever required to pay for a grade.
- Free
Your first conversation

The Semester Pass
$149.99 for 15 weeks: 2 conversations a week, up to 45 minutes each, and reports to your professor.
Safe by design, not by promise
Verification at the door, the wall in the middle, people behind every report. Read every layer on its own page.
- Verified students A code to a school address; re-checked every year. The address itself isn't kept.
- The wall Students are introduced only to students, checked on the server at every meeting.
- Adults only 18 or over, confirmed before the first call.
- The live check Speech is checked live for harassment; you decide whether the call goes on.

Questions, answered
Anyone 18 or over who verifies a current student address at a recognised university, in a country where the Exchange is open (now the US and Korea, English and Korean). You don't need a class code or a professor: you can join and pay for yourself.
No. Nothing connects to any school's systems and no school is a party to anything. Your school is simply where you study, shown only to other verified students.
With a student on the other side who is learning your language, near your level, awake at the same hour. Students from sister schools and the same class pairs are tried first. Most pairs keep one partner and one hour for the whole term.
You'll see how long students on your side usually wait, and what you can do now: widen your hours, or, only if you choose, talk with other trusted learners meanwhile. We never show a fake 'matching…'.
No. Calls aren't recorded and your professor never sees them. Your Twin, a report of how you speak, reaches a professor only if you send it, with the sections you choose, until the date you set.
The first conversation is free. After that, a seat your class provides, the Semester Pass ($149.99 for 15 weeks), or any regular TwinTalk plan.
