Frequently asked questions

What is Talkora?

Talkora is an online English conversation community designed to help you become more confident speaking English. Join live small-group sessions, meet people from around the world, and practice English through real conversations.

Is my first session really free?

Yes. When you create an account, you receive one free session credit. No credit card is required, and there is no obligation to purchase anything afterward.

How do Talkora sessions work?

Choose a session from the schedule, book your spot, and join online at the scheduled time. Sessions focus on conversation, with topics and questions designed to keep everyone speaking and involved.

Are Talkora sessions English classes?

Not exactly. Talkora is focused on conversation practice rather than traditional lessons. Sessions are led by a facilitator who keeps the conversation moving, encourages participation, and helps create an environment where everyone can practice speaking.

What English level do I need?

Talkora is designed for learners who can already have at least a basic conversation in English. Sessions are organized so you can practice with people who have a similar English level.

Who will I practice English with?

You'll practice with English learners from different countries and backgrounds. All sessions will include native English speakers, giving you experience communicating with different accents and speaking styles.

How many people are in each session?

Talkora sessions are intentionally kept small so everyone has plenty of opportunities to speak. Most sessions are designed for approximately 6–8 participants.

Do I need a membership?

No. You can purchase individual session credits or session packages without becoming a member. Membership is optional and provides additional benefits for people who want to make Talkora a regular part of their English practice.

How much do sessions cost?

You can purchase 1 session for $8 USD, 5 sessions for $35 USD, or 10 sessions for $65 USD. Members can access discounted session pricing.

Do my session credits expire?

Yes. Once you purchase session credits, you have 12 months to use them before they expire.

Can I cancel a session I've booked?

Yes. You can manage your bookings from your Talkora account. Cancellations must be made at least 6 hours before the session begins.

What happens if I miss a session?

If you don't attend a session you've booked and haven't cancelled within the cancellation period, the session credit will be used.

Where are the sessions held?

Sessions are held online through Zoom. Before your session begins, you'll receive the information you need to join.

What topics will we talk about?

Topics vary from session to session and can include everyday life, travel, work, culture, vocabulary practice, current topics, hypothetical situations, and more. The goal is to create interesting conversations that help you use English naturally.

Can I book a private 1-on-1 session?
