Frequently asked questions
Is ImChatty free?

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.

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 native 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 native 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 and Russian.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Practice, chat and video lessons all run in your web browser.
