Step 3: Join a Voice Room (1 minute)
The Easiest Way

- Browse rooms by topic:
- "English for Beginners"
- "Business English"
- "Just Chat"
- "Language Exchange"
- See the room details:
- Topic (what people talk about)
- People (how many are in the room)
- Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
- Tap a room → Instantly join
- Start talking! (mute button is at bottom)
Nervous? Start Here
- Join a larger room (10+ people) to listen first without speaking
- Look for "Listening OK" rooms (some people just listen)
- Start by saying "Hi, I'm new" – most people are welcoming
Pro tip: Pick afternoon/evening for more active conversations
Step 4: Your First Conversation
What to say:
- "Hi, I'm new here"
- "Hi, what's your name?"
- "Hi, I'm learning English, can I practice with you?"
- "Hey, what brings you here?"
Good conversation starters:
- "What's your native language?"
- "Where are you from?"
- "How long have you been learning English?"
- "Do you like [topic of room]?"
- "What's your favorite way to practice English?"
Tips for beginner English:
- Speak slowly
- It's okay to pause while thinking
- Ask for help: "How do you say...?"
- Use simple words you're confident in
- Don't worry about perfect grammar-focus on communication
If it's awkward:
- Totally normal! Leave and join another room
- People understand English is hard
- The more you practice, the easier it gets
Step 5: Request a 1-on-1 Stranger Call (Optional)
Want to practice with just one person?

- Click "Request Call"
- You wait in the matching queue (up to 60 seconds)
- Get matched with someone

Tip: Best for focused English practice with a specific person
