JunaTalk teaches you to SPEAK a language β€” and to be understood. Pick any topic and it builds a lesson around it, listens as you talk, and scores your pronunciation syllable by syllable. 25+ LANGUAGES, ONE SUBSCRIPTION Learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Arabic and more β€” switch anytime, every language included. LESSONS BUILT FOR YOU β€’ Any topic you type becomes a lesson: key vocabulary, real phrases, then a scripted roleplay. β€’ Tap any word for its meaning and how to say it; hear every line in a native voice, full speed or slowed down. β€’ Practice single words or whole conversations β€” graded either way. FEEDBACK THAT SHOWS THE SOUND β€’ Every syllable, tone and stress scored β€” see exactly which sounds need work, not just a pass or fail. β€’ Tonal languages get tone-by-tone feedback; Japanese is graded by mora, Chinese by character. β€’ A clear, kind debrief after every lesson β€” always know what to practice next. SPEAK TO TRANSLATE Dictate in your language and watch the translation appear as you speak β€” then practice saying it. STUDIO β€” YOUR VOICE MATTERS Read short passages aloud in your own language and get paid for it. Your recordings help build speech tools for your language β€” including helping others learn to speak it. IN YOUR LANGUAGE The whole app speaks your language β€” interface, explanations and translations in 80+ languages. MEMBERSHIP One subscription covers every language. New members can start with a 30-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Studio is open to everyone, no subscription needed. Sign in with Apple or Google to get started.
