Got questions? We've got answers.

Yappr is matched weekly video conversation practice for English and Spanish speakers who can already hold a conversation. No browsing. No DMs. No negotiating schedules. We match you 1:1 with a native speaker who's learning your language, for the same weekly video slot. Calls are split 50/50. Yappr suggests topics and prompts during the call. Afterward, words and phrases land in your Learning Hub as flashcards. The call is always human to human.

Because you've plateaued on apps that never make you speak for real, or burned out browsing strangers on language social networks. Yappr is for people who can already get through a conversation but need weekly reps with one serious partner. We match you. You show up. Fluency > perfection.

Tandem and HelloTalk are social discovery: browse profiles, DM, hope someone wants a real call. Yappr removes the browse entirely. You tell us your level, schedule, and interests once. We find your person. Same weekly slot. No swiping, no flirt-adjacent inbox, no two weeks of messaging before a maybe-call. Built for speaking, not scrolling.

Hard no. Yappr matches people for language exchange, not awkward midnight texts. Every member passes identity and level verification before their first call, with mutual ratings and one-tap reporting. If you're trying to rizz someone up, wrong product. We're here for fluency, not situationships.

Beta is free for founding members. At launch, a €12 commitment deposit unlocks matching and weekly calls. Complete 12 sessions and you get it back. That deposit is the point: it keeps flakes out so your partner is protected. Pro is €9.99/month for extras. Core weekly calls and basic flashcards stay on the core plan with the deposit. No ads.

italki and Preply are paid lessons with tutors. Yappr is a peer exchange: you give your language, they give theirs, same weekly rhythm, no lesson invoice for every hour of speaking. Use a tutor if you want corrections on demand. Use Yappr when you want a real speaking buddy who expects you every week.

Some apps also auto-match you for calls. Yappr adds the layer that makes the call stick: identity and level verification before you meet, conversation prompts so the call never goes dry, flashcards from what you actually said, and a commitment deposit at launch so both people show up. Free and simple is fine if you only want a warm body on video. Yappr is for people who want a serious weekly practice loop.

Yes. During signup, after you pick Spanish, we ask whether you want Castilian (Spain), Latin American, or don't mind. Matching uses that preference along with level, schedule, and interests. Partner intros also show where someone is from, so you know the accent world you're walking into.

Nope. Yappr suggests topics, vocab review, and prompts before and during the call. What you keep comes from the conversation, not from inventing notes out of a recording. The actual call is person to person every time. No replacing humans with a cheerful chatbot fantasy.

Duolingo lives in drills and streak psychology. Yappr lives in scheduled conversation with a real partner who wants your language too. Use both if you want. We're the bit where you stop tapping tiles and start sounding human. Also, zero cartoon guilt trips.

You need enough foundation to stumble through a conversation, roughly post beginner (think A2 to B2 CEFR). Absolute zero beginners will grind gears. Yappr is for people who already get the language but need reps with a native speaker.

Right now, English and Spanish. You learn one and you speak the other, which is what makes the exchange actually work. If you're wanting to practice a different language, tell us during sign up and we'll email you the day it opens.
