What Is Live Call & Chat?

Live Call & Chat lets you practice a language with an AI conversation partner in real time. Call Kippy, Tippy or Yappy and talk hands-free, or chat by text when you want time to work through what you want to say.

Knowing a phrase and saying it in a conversation are different skills. A live call gives you a place to practice listening, responding and keeping a conversation going.

Choose Your Conversation Partner

Kippy, Tippy and Yappy bring different personalities to your practice. Kippy is your friendly guide and helps when you get stuck. Tippy is sweet, playful and always in your corner. Yappy has opinions and will challenge you.

Pick a partner you enjoy talking to and start with something familiar. The goal is to make speaking a regular part of your day.

How Live Call & Chat Works

  • Call to speak and listen: Use a call when you want to focus on speaking and listening, hands-free.
  • Chat to take your time: Use chat when you want time to think through a response.
  • Ask for help when you get stuck: Ask for a word or an explanation, then try expressing the idea yourself.
  • Talk about anything: Talk about your day, share an opinion or tell a story in the language you're practicing.

Start with one small topic: what you did yesterday, a film you enjoyed or your plans for the weekend. Ask your partner a question, listen to the reply and see where the conversation takes you.
