Why I built imchatty
I've lived in France for 25 years, and I still have an accent. I've been through the naturalisation interview myself, so I know how much can ride on the way you speak.
Around me I see people of all ages who want to learn French or English. I spent ten years at Acadomia, running the systems that matched students with tutors. I've built businesses in France and travelled a lot. With imchatty, I want to create a place where learners get the human side of language learning.

Your tutor sets what you'll work on, and it stays on screen the whole lesson.

Your tutor sees AI suggestions as you answer, so the conversation keeps moving at your level.
A recap afterwards
Get a short AI recap of what you practiced once the lesson ends.
Practice between lessons
Keep speaking with the AI partner for free, so you come back ready to talk.
Free first lessons
Many tutors offer a free first lesson, so you can find the right fit before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Is ImChatty free?
Yes, you can start for free. AI conversation practice is free every day, and you can try it without creating an account. Chatting with other learners is free too. Lessons with tutors are paid per lesson, and many tutors offer a free trial lesson.
How much do lessons cost?
Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, shown on their profile before you book. There is no subscription: you pay per lesson.
What happens in a lesson?
Lessons are live video in your browser. Your tutor sets a goal for the lesson and gets AI suggestions as you answer, and you get a short recap when it ends. Many tutors offer the first lesson free.
Can I cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Cancelling more than 24 hours before the lesson is free, and you can move a confirmed lesson to another open time. If a tutor doesn't show up, you get a full refund.
How are tutors chosen?
Every tutor applies and is reviewed by our team before they can be booked. Tutors must use a real photo and complete a written test and an AI conversation assessment in the language they teach.
How is ImChatty different from HelloTalk or Tandem?
HelloTalk and Tandem connect you with exchange partners. ImChatty does that too, and adds an AI partner that's always available and tutors you can book when you want structured lessons.
How is ImChatty different from Preply or italki?
Like Preply and italki, you can book one-on-one lessons with tutors. On ImChatty you can also practice for free with AI and with other learners between lessons, so you come to each lesson ready to speak.
Which languages can I learn?
English and French have the most tutors. We add new languages as learners ask for them, and Spanish and Italian tutors are already joining. The AI partner also lets you practice Chinese, Russian and Italian.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Practice, chat and video lessons all run in your web browser.
