About

CoffeeTalk

CoffeeTalk is a language exchange app. You speak a language somebody out there is learning. Somebody out there speaks the one you want. That trade is the whole product. Find a partner by the languages you speak and the ones you are learning, start a chat, and move to a call when you are ready. WHAT MAKES IT WORK Translation under the message. Tap any message to see it in your own language, right there in the thread. Turn on auto-translate for a partner and every incoming message arrives already translated. Correct, not just chat. Fix your partner's sentence and send the corrected version back β€” they see exactly what changed. That is the part an ordinary messenger cannot do. Voice calls, built in. Move from typing to talking without leaving the app. A streak that brings you back. Talk every day, keep the flame alive, earn rewards. Language practice works when it is daily. Stories. Share a moment from your day, and your partners see how you actually live. EVERY FACE IS CHECKED Signing up takes a live selfie, matched against your profile photo, so you know the person on the other side is real. Verified accounts carry a badge. Report and block are one tap away in the chat and on any profile, and our moderators review what comes in. Photos you send are screened automatically. FREE No paywall on conversations. Practise as much as you want. The app is available in English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French and Russian.
