Your buddy Juan will only speak in the language you are learning, so you can immerse yourself in the language and improve your listening skills. Press the record button to start a conversation, then press again to stop recording. Juan will respond with a message in the language you are learning. You can also change the language and voice of your buddy in the settings. There's no typing -- just voice!
