Use the language, do not only study it
Every pin is a real person with a first name, an age and sometimes a short intro. Zoom to a country where your target language is spoken, open a profile and write a sentence or two. Ask about their day or their favourite snack, and learn the everyday words your textbook leaves out.
Japan is almost in your time zone
Tokyo is only one or two hours behind Sydney and Melbourne, and Perth is one hour behind Tokyo. That makes Japan one of the easiest places to chat with live: you can message during your lunch break or after dinner and get answers within minutes.
Close neighbours in the Pacific and Asia
From Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the Pacific islands are all close on the map. Open a few profiles in the region, trade greetings and see how people there live. Want to go further? Swipe the map toward Asia or Europe.
Spanish and other languages from across the clock
Spain and Latin America are many hours behind Australia, so your evening is often their morning or afternoon. Send a message after work and you may find a reply waiting at breakfast, which gives you time to read it slowly and look up the words you do not know.
No word for it? Translate it
With a free account you can translate messages you receive into your language and send your own already translated. It is a safety net and not a shortcut, so you still do the talking yourself.
Your privacy is yours to keep
Your position stays blurred at all times, which means others see an area, never your address. Your messages are encrypted in our database, we do not use advertising trackers, and you can delete your profile or download your data whenever you want.
