Is this a language tutor?

No. Nobody here teaches. On the other side of the table there is a hiring manager, an examiner, a customer with a queue behind them. They want something from this conversation. They will not slow down and they will not switch to your language. Ramble, and they cut you off. That is the practice.

What happens in the first ten seconds?

You press start and about a second later they are already talking. There is no press-to-talk button and no waiting for your turn. You can talk over them and they can talk over you, the way people do. That only became possible in September 2026, which is why this product exists now and not two years ago.

How is a score decided?

In two steps. First the system reads the record of your conversation and pulls out the evidence: which turn, your exact words, and whether they help or hurt. Then it gives a mark for each criterion, using only that evidence. Every quote is checked against what you really said before you see it, and the total is added up in code rather than asked for.

I read Russian but I need to interview in English. Does that work?

That is the normal case and the site is built for it. You set three things separately: the language you read the site in, the language the other person speaks, and the language your feedback is written in. Read the site in Russian, talk to Marcus Chen in American English, get the feedback in Russian. The quotes stay in English, because they are your own words.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. On half the catalogue the first session is free, about 5 minutes, and nobody asks for a card. At the end you get the whole write-up, not a teaser. After that you buy minutes.

Is my voice recorded?

No. The audio is not stored, and there is no switch anywhere to turn storing on. What is kept is the text of what was said, because the score and the quotes under it are built on it. You can delete your account and everything attached to it from your account page.

Speaking practice with AI people

56 people to talk to: a friend on a call, a doctor with seven minutes, a neighbour, a waiter in New York, a recruiter. You speak out loud for 5 to 15 minutes. They start the conversation, they interrupt, they will not switch to your language, and no two conversations are the same. Afterwards you get a write-up: what worked, what to fix, and your own words under every mark. The first conversation is free and no card is asked for.

What you get

Practice any time, as many times as you need

Your teacher teaches you the language. Speaking it comes from practice: a lot of it, often, and in real situations. This is what that practice looks like here, and what it comes to.

It behaves like the real thing

A recruiter reads your CV while you talk. A landlady has heard all of this before. A friend leaves a silence and waits for you to fill it. Nobody slows down and nobody switches to your language.

9 conversations for the price of one with a native speaker

Talking with a live native speaker costs $50 a conversation, and that is the cheap end. Here it is $5.28, so you get to have the same conversation again and again until it comes easily.

Nothing to book

Six in the morning on the day itself. Or twice more tonight, because the first go was bad. No calendar, no confirmation, nobody else's week to fit into.

Where a score comes from

Every mark quotes something you actually said

You can read the criteria before you start. Every quote in the write-up is checked against what you actually said. If a criterion has nothing to point to, it says so instead of guessing. None of this is an exam: run the same conversation as often as you like, and ignore the score if you want to.

4/5

Four of the five properties hold right across the catalogue today. The fifth is not done yet, and the list beside this says which one. What holds everywhere: the 100 points of a score are split across the criteria and always add up to 100.

How the score is worked out

Marcus Chen, and the place the conversation happens in. Every person here has a face and a place of their own, drawn for this catalogue — there is not one stock photograph on the site.

Published criteriaThe criteria and their weights are visible before you speak.Visible before the session starts
Before you speak you can see what is being measured and how much each thing is worth, as percentages that add up to a hundred. That is checked automatically: a set whose percentages do not add up never reaches the site. Published in advance; changes go through review
Every quote verifiedNo claim about you survives without your own sentence under it.While the score is being worked out
First the evidence is pulled out of the conversation: which turn, and your exact words. Before any of it reaches you the server checks that the quote matches that turn word for word. If it does not, there is one retry and then the quote is thrown away. The model does not get to reword you into agreeing with it. Checked on the server, never on the client
Silence over a guessA criterion with no evidence is left unscored, and says so.While the score is being worked out
If the conversation never came near a criterion, it comes back as not enough evidence rather than as a middling three. The total is then added up over the criteria that were scored, not the ones that were not. That is the arithmetic every product scoring you on a feeling quietly skips. Built into the code, not asked of the model
Three runs, the middle oneA score is not the one roll of the dice you happened to see.Twenty to sixty seconds
The marks are worked out three times over the same evidence, and the middle result is kept. Same evidence, same criteria, same version of the model. The only thing that changes is chance — and chance is exactly what a single run hides from you. Three independent runs, on the server
Checked against peopleThe scoring agreed with human examiners before it was allowed to run.Before a new version of the scoring goes live
Each set of criteria gets about sixty conversations marked by people. The scoring is not switched on until it agrees with them. The spread is measured separately — the same conversation is scored five times — and anything smaller than that spread is never drawn as progress. That is what the badge in the catalogue means. Honestly: no set of criteria has it yet. The conversations are collected and the check is in place, but nothing has been through it. People mark it first, then the run is recorded

The write-up

What you get after the conversation

The transcript, word for word

Every turn either of you took, kept as text with the time beside it. The conversation does not disappear when it ends: it is a page you can come back to.

You keep saying we. What did you do?
I rewrote the import path so the nightly job stopped timing out.
Good. Now the part that did not work.

The score, in under a minute

How much you spoke and where you stalled shows up straight away. The score follows in under a minute: what worked, what did not, and the sentence behind every line of it.

Compared with a live native speaker

9 conversations for the price of one

Talking with a live native speaker is the best practice there is, and it is priced like it: from $50 a conversation, at a time that suits them. Here a conversation costs $5.28, starts when you press the button, and can be had again tomorrow.

A live native speaker and Reallang, compared on six points
	A live native speaker	Reallang
What one conversation costs	From $50	$5.28
When you can talk	When they have a slot	Now, or at six in the morning
Who is across the table	The same person every time	A recruiter, a doctor, a neighbour: 56 people
Will they interrupt you	Rarely. You are the one paying	Yes, like in real life
Feedback in writing	Usually none	60 seconds later, quoting you
A real person across the table	Yes	No, an AI person

The last row is the honest one: a real person is a real person, and nothing replaces that. But getting comfortable speaking takes dozens of conversations, not one a week at $50. Your teacher teaches you the language; this is the practice in between.

Measured, not claimed

How fast the score comes, and how it is checked

People who have already tried it speak for themselves further down. We do not show a pass rate: there is no honest way to count one yet, and we will not invent it. What is below can be measured — how fast the score comes, how it is checked, how many times it is counted.

Seconds after the conversation ends, the write-up is ready: what worked, what to fix, and your own sentence under every mark. Nobody has to find time to listen back to the recording.

The write-up in about a minute

Of the claims in a score open onto a quote, and every quote is checked word for word against what you said before it is shown. 9 sets of criteria, all through the same filter.

100% quoted

Independent runs behind every score, and the middle one is kept, so a score is not the one result you happened to be shown. The same in all 127 situations.

In their words

What people said after their own conversation

25 people have written one, every one of them after a session of their own. No names, at their own request — a made-up name beside a real sentence would be the one false thing on this page.

The neutral face threw me off more than I expected. I had to finish my STAR example without looking for reassurance.
After a session with Aisha Okafor
Beatriz had an answer ready for every complaint about the boiler. I had to stop repeating the problem and ask for a specific date.

Ben got defensive as soon as I explained the technical cause. I had to acknowledge the impact before talking about the fix.

For teachers

Your class speaks between your lessons, and 50% of every minute is yours

Describe the situation your students have to get through in one paragraph: a landlord who will not repeat himself, a screening call, a parents' evening. We write the person on the other side of it. Your students open a link — no sign-up, nothing to install — and you are paid for every minute they speak. Your lessons stay yours. This is what happens on the days in between.

How it works for teachers

You decide how long the conversation runs

A conversation at a shop counter takes six minutes; a final interview takes fifteen. You set the length yourself, and that is what the student pays for.

B2 · confident 9 min – 15 min

Nobody has to be sold

People arrive having already typed in the thing they are afraid of. They read what the conversation is and press Start. You never have to sell anything.

Is there anyone who does the salary conversation?

Linda Park. Twelve minutes, warm until she is not.

Publish once, three ways in

Once your person is published, they are in search, on the page for their situation, and in the lists people are already saving.

All 5 properties, printed on the person's page

Published criteria, quotes checked against what was said, three passes with the middle one kept, a measured spread, and a set checked against human markers. The page says which of them is still missing.

Paid out of the minutes, not out of a budget

50% of every minute spoken to your person goes to the authors, split by the second. Once a payout is closed, it is never recalculated.
