Topics you can fit into a short session
uTalk organizes everyday words and phrases into more than 60 topics. The company estimates two to three hours to complete a topic, while also describing five-minute drop-in sessions; it says the full topic set can provide up to 180 hours for a language. Hear, record and practise The site says male and female native speakers voice each word. Learners can record themselves mimicking the audio, see words in both languages in the practice section, then move into five games that increase in difficulty.
Who runs the courses
uTalk is run by a London based team of language learning specialists. Using the service also helps the recording, preservation and promotion of minority and endangered languages, which the company treats as part of its mission. The team invites native speakers to represent their own communities and languages, so the voices in the lessons come from people who speak the language. That focus on real speakers gives the brand a distinct character among general language tools.
Breadth of languages
uTalk covers a very large set of languages, from widely taught tongues to minority languages. Learners can start with a major language and later try a smaller one under the same approach. The broad range suits people who want to start a language they have not studied before, or who want a brief refresher on a language learned long ago.
