Learn languages through conversation. Have fun making new friends from different cultures and backgrounds. Meet often to improve fluency.
Whatever language you speak, connect through the app instantly and start chatting.
Idyoma is a community for like-minded language learners eager to reach fluency in whatever language they hope to master.
*The app is and will always be free.*
This is possible as we present you with language learners nearby who already speak the language you want to learn and are looking to learn the language you already know.
This way you can take turns speaking in each other's’ native languages, both benefitting.
This form of language exchange allows for the perfect opportunity for users to learn about each other's cultures and backgrounds. The app works particularly well when traveling.

GPS is used to locate users around you
GPS runs in the background while the app is in use. Continuous use of GPS can drain battery.
Idyoma is - and always will be - free. If you choose to unlock the Self-verification you will be charged a specific amount detailed on the app to your iTunes. This in-app purchase is a one time purchase and causes a "badge" or Verified icon to appear on your profile.
There is an option inside the app to pay a specified recurring amount which will be visible in the app, and will vary depending on your local currency. This is an optional recurring monthly charge which allows you to initiate conversations with as many other users as you like. Choosing not to pay this recurring monthly amount will result in facing a cap in the number of new conversations you can initiate. For non-paying users, this cap will be visible inside the application and will reset each month. There is no cap on receiving messages in any circumstance.

The idea is great and I’ve tried many of these apps. I do like it but unfortunately it keeps crashing. I’m not sure if it’s a bug but it makes using the app a little difficult. If this is fixed then it is a useful app. I also wish you could choose whether you’d rather connect with people worldwide OR locally, instead of both.
It's fun and engaging

A really great app that has allowed me to improve my Spanish so much and get to know people I otherwise would never had the pleasure to get to know. I can't rate it highly enough!
5 star

Glad I got the app as I’ve been trying to find apps for helping me with my Spanish course so now I don’t have to use google translate
Fantastic!

Well designed and really useful for language learning. Using real speakers to practice with is so much more authentic, helpful and memorable than learning alone.
We’ve made Idyoma smoother and more welcoming for language learners.
This update includes clearer onboarding, improved language selection, new practice reminder settings, and a better Maya experience. Maya now appears online as your always-available AI language tutor, ready to help you practice anytime.
We’ve also improved profile setup guidance and made general usability updates based on feedback from real learners and QA testers. More refinements are coming soon.
