I read some of the past reviews and some of them have been taken into consideration to make TalkPal AI one of the most promising language learning tool out here.
It is now both an APP and a Web Page.... See more
UPDATE 25th March - Since posting the below, customer service contacted me and restored my Premium access. The app is very good for me. customer service is a little slow.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 20th March... See more
As a language teacher myself I must say this is a very impressive ressource.
All the modes are very cleverly done.
One room for development is the range of accents.

I read some of the past reviews and some of them have been taken into consideration to make TalkPal AI one of the most promising language learning tool out here.
It is now both an APP and a Web Page. The features are amazing - and I have no doubt they'll keep on improving the service.
As a language teacher and a language enthusiast myself, I can attest the benefits of this app. It allows you to practice within a safe environment, to learn the vocabulary you need given a topic of your interest. The AI allows many features a normal teacher would have to do - correcting, improving, helping your translate, repeating.... They have both a written chat and a phone call simulator now. I think the quality is great enough to enable many people to study on their own. It's linguistically better than Duolingo or Memrise, for me, because it enables you to practice your creativity with what you have and builds up on it. It's a ressource any autonomous (or non autonomous but hungry) learner should have in their pocket. Complete it with a solid workbook and Anki, and you're good to go !
I think the premium version is totally worth investing in - you have a teacher available at any time you wish ! It really does a lot of what teachers are supposed to do when practicing speaking or writing. Trying it was definitely adoting it for me. I'm surprised it's not widespread yet ...
UPDATE 25th March - Since posting the below, customer service contacted me and restored my Premium access. The app is very good for me. customer service is a little slow.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 20th March - Went well at first - paid for the upgrade but after they took the money all Premium features stopped working. Have tried to contact the company and they have not responded. Have tried 3 or 4 times and there is no response.
As a language teacher myself I must say this is a very impressive ressource.
All the modes are very cleverly done.
One room for development is the range of accents.
It’s weird to speak with Dickens or the Bronte sisters when they have an American accent or sound too young.
Some of the feedback is wrong.
Laut App habe ich ein aktives Premium Abo, und zwar die monatliche Variante. Zum einen kann ich mich nicht erinnern, dieses Abo abgeschlossen zu haben, zum anderen habe ich dazu keine E-Mail Bestätigung erhalten. Auch in meinem Google Play Account ist dieses Abo nicht gelistet. Die Premium Dienste kann ich auch nicht nutzen. Das Abo kann ich auch nicht kündigen, zumindest nicht über die App. Ich hoffe sehr auf eine schnelle Antwort des Kundenservice, da ich keine Lust habe, 12 Euro monatlich für ein fiktives Abo zu bezahlen
The most amazing thing that I discovered from now on to really improve my language skills, and it did, I very grateful for finding a so suitable and effective tool. The support is very attentive, they replied you and they are very polite. They really permit you to make the test for free.
Tried it for free for 5 mins a day and fell in love!
June 2025 Update: I initially gave this a scathing 1 star review about 6 months ago because the "Free Trial" required a credit card. But recently I looked at it again and now they will give you a truly free account for 5 mins a day with no credit card needed. I tried it for just 2 days and totally fell in love - so I subscribed for 2 years (up front) at a really great price. What I love is that TalkPal actually talks to you and holds a conversation using AI. It listens to me, then it responds and even rates my pronunciation - it's like have your own teacher. Also, my previous complaint about the romanization (of Korean) was wrong because it can easily be switched off.
So now, I'm totally recommending TalkPal!
It's really great! 5 Stars!
I am using TalkPal for my German language practice.
For the price, Talkpal is excellent and offers a wide variety of learning modalities and languages. The only think I would like the devs to know is:
- that it would be nice to have a more fun UI and features like leader boards and leagues so the whole experience is gamified.
- it would be nice to have at least a male and a female voice for each language and different customization options for the teacher AI's look and feel.
I support the development of this app and I will remain subscribed for the year.
Talkpal is quick and fair in responding to customer complaints.
I got confused and signed up for a plan that I wasn't really interested in at the time.
But when I opened a cancellation request, the team promptly helped me and the amount is being refunded to my credit card. The experience was great!
Very useful and interactive
Take into account that this app is not for people who want to start studying a language from the very beginner level, as it requires some fundamental knowledge, after all the app is user-friendly and has very interesting features that boost the studying level.
While searching for the language you want to learn you enter a page specific for that language, then after payment you are asked to select your prefered language. The language i wanted to learn was not there. However you can select it as a setting in the chat application. So i canceld my subscription because the option was not clearly visable. The website needs more information on the concept and what to expect.
I am from Australia. I Found Talkpal on the Internet.I found it so practical to learn Spanish language.
However, I realised I couldn't afford it at that stage of my life.So I decided to leave it for later, assuming that I have unsubscribed.After 2 weeks trial period, I realised I was charged. I contacted the support team of Talkpal and told them my story.To my fully surprise they literally refunded my money.It means a lot to me and I don't know how to thank them.I am sure I will get the app later.
Do not sign up for a trial period.
I made this mistake and regretted it.
I forgot to cancel my subscription on time, which is my fault. But I have a restriction on online purchases, so the transaction did not go through. But the app has been trying to withdraw funds for 2 months now, which is why I have problems with the bank, with online payments, and with the AppStore itself. I would have already paid the $30, but I was very disappointed with the communication with the company. I corresponded with them by email, and they did not offer me any help (except for the same instruction in the emails on how to unsubscribe, which I had already done, of course) It seems that a bot was just talking to me, not a real person. They ignored my last two emails. Therefore, I do not recommend this app to you. I had a similar situation with another app, and it was resolved in one day. Unfortunately, this did not happen here
As for the app itself, almost all the features it offers can be practiced with the free version of ChatGPT. In the end, everyone decides for themselves.
the AI understood all I said in French, despite my several errors in grammar…it processed my words and thoughts and came back with thoughtful commentary and another question…Very easy to have a chat, like it was a person…
Top notch customer service. Had an issue with cancelation and TalkPal team solved it without any further questions. Rare case in today's AI Chatbot and “sorry to hear…” world. In the app, I liked the debate chat.
In jederlei Hinsicht eine Super App. Sehr gute,herzliche Leute bei Talkpal. Und die App ist extrem SUPERGUT.Es ist eine meiner besondersten Apps. Love always wins !!!
Ich wollte sagen,daß ich vor kurzem festgestellt habe,daß bei Talkpal so supergute,herzliche und wertvolle Menschen arbeiten.Allein dafür gibt es schon mal 6 Punkte.
Das Wichtigste ist immer,daß man in guten Händen ist.
Aber es geht ja jetzt vorwiegend um die App.
Ich muß sagen,daß die App einfach SUPERGUT ist.
Sie ist zwar für Anfänger nicht so geeignet.Nur als
Hinweis. Ich bin nämlich Advanced.Ich lerne Englisch.
Doch die verschiedenen Modi sind genial.
Ich habe zwar bisher nur den Chatmodus und den Fotomodus genutzt.
Aber beide Modi überzeugen mich zu 100%.
Es gibt zwar sehr viele Alternativen auf dem Markt, aber für eine App bzw.mehrere bestimmte Apps muß man sich entscheiden.Die Alternativen sind auch extrem supergut und großartigst.Kein Zweifel .Vielleicht sind manche noch besser und ich weiß darüber nichts.Es gibt so viele AI Apps.Da weiß man nicht,welche man nehmen soll.Die Talkpal App ist zwar erst seit einem Jahr auf dem Markt.
Doch sie wächst,glaube ich,rasant.
Wenn jetzt noch bestimmte Sachen und Features verbessert werden,ist es für mich die beste Englisch Lern AI App, die man sich wünschen kann.Dann wäre die App perfekt. Jede App von jeder Firma hat einen anderen Ansatz.
Die ELSA App z.B. ist auch extrem sinnvoll.
Die wollte ich nächstes Jahr nach dem Sommer
nochmal neu beginnen.
Aber es geht im Moment nichts über die Talkpal App.
Die App ist eine der besondersten Apps,die ich im Moment habe.
Ausbaufähig ist sie.
Sie muß im weiteren Verlauf noch verbessert
werden.Dann wäre sie total perfekt,wie oben schon beschrieben.
Und in Kombination mit den superguten und herzlichen Leuten bei Talkpal, wünsche ich der App in Zukunft viel Erfolg.
Weil:Love always wins!!!!!
(Ich empfehle,vor Benutzung der App ,erstmal mit Vokabellernapps anzufangen.Denn für ganz blutige Anfänger ist sie nicht unbedingt geeignet .Ich nutze die Apps von MosaLingua.)
Talkpal .I really like you!!!!!
Ich muß aber objektiv und fair sein und sagen,daß die zig Alternativen vielleicht genauso gut sind.Man muß sich eben für bestimmte Apps entscheiden. Und dann den Weg mit seiner Auswahl an Apps konsequent gehen.
(Anmerk.:nur zugunsten der Fairness !!!!) Hinzugefügt, paar Wochen später:
Ich wollte noch etwas dazuschreiben:Weil ich die von Talkpal oben so gelobt habe,von der Menschlichkeit her ,und so.
Man darf halt nie zu blauäugig sein.
Die App ist,wenn sie noch weiter verbessert wird Superklasse.Also,das ist so.
Aber ich hatte zuletzt auch ein Problem mit dem Kundenservice.
Man darf ,wie gesagt, nie zu blauäugig sein.
Da spielt Gott und die Welt total verrückt;da haben die von Talkpal auch verrückt gespielt.
Es arbeiten schon sehr viele nette Leute bei Talkpal.
Aber die App ist für 3 Wochen ganz ausgefallen neulich.Da ging es ,um den Wechsel von einem 3 Monats auf eine 1year subscription.
Gut war,daß ich das ganze Geld zurückerstattet gekriegt habe und daß die App jetzt auch wieder komplett funktioniert.
Das ist gut.
Aber,wenn da wirklich alles ,was es gibt,verrückt spielt, und ich habe deswegen auch sehr große Probleme, aber da möchte ich jetzt nicht näher drauf eingehen, dann haben die von Talkpal und auch von dem Talkpal Support, auch 2 Wochen ziemlich verrückt gespielt.
Aber jetzt funktioniert wieder alles,und auch die Geldrückerstattung,das war auch o.k.,und ich habe sogar einen Discount gekriegt.
Naja,da arbeiten auch gute Leute,aber alles,was es gibt,spielt verrückt, gerade wenn man davon so betroffen ist ,wie ich. Jetzt läuft aber alles wieder wie geschmiert.Gott sei Dank ,und zum Glück.Ich hoffe,daß ich jetzt keine Probleme mehr haben werde mit dem Support.
...Das wollte ich nur noch erwähnen, weil ich auch korrekt sein möchte...
Llevo varios días que cuando accedo a la aplicación con mi usuario. Cuando pasa un rato e introduzco una respuesta de voz, pido valoración de pronunciación o traducir un texto. La aplicación se queda cargando la petición y se bloquea.
Compruebo la conexión a internet y otros aspectos del Laptop y todos esta correcto
Que puedo hacer?
Me han contestado desde el servicio de atención de Talkpal y me han resuelto el problema con mucha celeridad, en un día 05/11/2024
Gracias
