Watch how each sound is shaped

When your teacher speaks, their mouth matches the sounds — not generic talking-head animation. The lip shapes you see correspond to the phonemes — the individual sounds — being pronounced, so you can see how the sounds of Thai, Vietnamese or Mandarin are made.

Phoneme-accurate sync available in: Thai, Vietnamese and Mandarin.

Khmer currently does not have phoneme support, and uses natural mouth animation.

A whole town to practise in

Lessons teach the language. The town is where you use it. Walk into a café, a market, a pharmacy or the train station and talk to the person who works there — ask a price, order, explain what you need, sort out a problem. Or just chat with someone on the street. Everything happens in the language you're learning, at the level you're at.

Ten places to walk into today, connected by streets you move between freely — with more opening every month.

The same town works in every language ChitrChat teaches — converse in the language you're learning or talk in your native language if you are stuck, the residents always reply in theirs. You text chat or voice chat in the town

Where you can go

Each place has its own characters, its own vocabulary, and its own things to get done while in town. New shops and locations opening regularly.

Everything you need to actually speak the language

Built for real life, not just phrasebooks. Finally understand what's being said around you.

How you learn

Voice & text chat

Speak or type with your AI teacher. Adjust playback speed to train your ear on tones and rhythm.

Custom topics & lessons

Tell your teacher what matters to your life. Lessons built around your job, neighborhood, or hobbies.

35 units, hundreds of lessons

Structured curriculum from absolute beginner to advanced covering vocab, grammar, roleplay and conversation.

Flashcards & spaced repetition

Tap any word to save it. Review with a system that moves vocabulary into long-term memory.

For real-world life

See what you see

Point your camera at a menu, sign, or shop. Your AI teacher sees the photo and builds a real conversation around it.

IRL translation mode

Capture what a local says, get an instant translation, and AI suggestions on how to reply naturally.

Hands-free mode

Practice speaking and listening without touching your screen. Perfect for commutes and daily life.

Never get stuck

Tap SOS any time you don't know what to say. Your teacher offers a natural suggestion to keep the conversation going.

In the town

Walk in and talk

Pick an avatar, walk the streets, open any door. Whoever's inside talks to you in the language you're learning — no script, no branching menu.

Gloss on a toggle

Show script, romanization and a translation under every line while you're finding your feet — then switch to target language only when you don't need the crutch.

Sentence starters when you freeze

Tappable openers that fit the moment, in your voice and with the right politeness particles for your gender — enough to get the sentence out without being handed it.

Small goals, no scores

Two or three things to get done in each place — ask what's on, order politely, sort out a problem. Written in your language, done in theirs. Nothing to lose by wandering off and chatting instead.

Every new word is one tap from your deck

Pick up a word from the barista or the pharmacist, tap it, and it goes straight into your flashcards — reviewed later with the same spaced repetition as everything from your lessons.

Personalized to you

Animated AI teachers

Animated teachers speak back to you. See and hear pronunciation clearly.

Your teacher speaks your language

Not just the interface — your teacher explains grammar and gives feedback in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, or Brazilian Portuguese.

Speaks to you correctly

Select your gender and your teacher addresses you with the right pronouns — essential in Thai and Vietnamese.

Progress reports

Track sessions, streaks, vocabulary learned, and topics covered across all languages.

Phonetic romanization

Not ready for Thai, Chinese or Khmer script yet? Enable romanization and ease into reading at your own pace.
