How to SpeaQ With Me – Video Chat

Here comes our next post explaining how to use the language learning platform.

You already know about out text chat and have maybe already chatted with someone? Then it’s time to get started speaQing in a video chat. The video chat helps you put all your foreign language skills to use in the best possible way, by having conversations with real people! 

When you first start out talking to new people via video chat, we know it can be a challenge to figure out what to say, or find interesting topics to discuss. That's why we developed some tools that should make it easier to chat with a native and to reach your language learning goals.

So, what are these tools about?

Well, even before the chat begins, we want to make sure that both you and your chat partner are set up for success. That's why we have you select the language the chat will be in and approximately how long you want to talk for. This information helps you and your partner both know what's going on when the chat begins, and it lets us provide you with learning tools in the language you selected (if available, otherwise it will be in English).
