Real conversations in nine Asian languages, Khmer and Lao included. Free to browse, one-time purchase to learn. No subscription, no account.
TalkThere is for the moment you want to say one real thing to a real person: the woman selling mangoes, the driver who just went out of his way, the family at the next table. Not a course. A phrasebook built around whole conversations, so you know what to say, what you will hear back, and how to keep going.
Nine languages: Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Indonesian, Filipino, Khmer and Lao. Khmer, Lao and Filipino are the ones most language apps skip. Every phrase comes with its pronunciation, written in English phonetics and spoken by a natural voice you can slow down.
BUILT AROUND SITUATIONS
Market, restaurant, transport, hotel, emergencies, meeting people, and a few things that are useful anywhere. Each situation is a set of short dialogues: your line, their likely reply, your next line. Tap any phrase to hear it, tap it again to see it word by word.
CONNECTION FIRST
The most valuable phrases are not the ones that get you a room. They are the ones that get a smile: a compliment on the food, a reaction to a joke, the polite particle that makes a sentence warm. TalkThere puts those first.
WHAT PRO ADDS
Browsing is free for one language: dialogues, words, pronunciations, cultural notes. Pro adds the learning tools: save words, track what sticks in four stages, review with spaced repetition right before a word slips, hear every word slowed down, break phrases into parts, download a whole language's pronunciations for the trip, and open Street Talk, the situation with the slang. Everything is open for the first 14 days, no card needed.
Pro is a one-time purchase: one language, or all of them. No subscription, nothing renews.
WORKS OFFLINE
Dialogues and words ship inside the app. Pronunciations download the first time you play them, or all at once before you leave.
NO ACCOUNT
Nothing to sign up for. Your progress stays on your phone.
English and French interface.
