FAQs

Junto means “together” in both Spanish and Portuguese. Junto Talk means talk together. 

The purpose of Junto Talk is to provide a spontaneous way to practice and use your growing second language skills. You don’t have to schedule or plan ahead. If you would like to talk longer make a second call. With a subscription, initiate as many calls as you would like per day.    

Junto Talk was created to be able to connect with a native speaker in your target language within 30 seconds. Are we there yet? Not yet. Will we get there? Definitely.  

Anyone who is serious about acquiring or preserving a second language. 

There are no scheduled times to talk with other speakers and it is definitely more affordable. Junto Talk is not a language teaching service, but an on-demand language exchange for those seeking second language acquisition conversations. 

Initially it may take a minute or two to connect to a native language speaker. In the near future the goal is to connect within 30 seconds. Right now if a native speaker doesn’t answer an AI speaker in your target language will answer.  

For now the calls are voice only. We are considering options for video calls in the future. 

Your name, phone number, email address, or physical location will not be shared with other speakers unless you tell them. Do not share this info with other speakers. You can use your real name or preferably an alias of your choosing under “display name” in the account section after you log into JuntoTalk. You can also report users who aren’t respectful or appropriate.

Currently only English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish are being offered. Our goal is to eventually offer the majority of world languages. Join the waitlist  to receive updates.
