About Talk with Ren

Reimagining language learning through natural conversation

Our Mission

When you're ready to take your language skills beyond basics, you need more than flashcards and textbook exercises. You need real practice—but finding time for tutors or conversation partners can be challenging, and the fear of making mistakes can hold you back.

Talk with Ren gives you a judgment-free space to practice conversational fluency whenever you want. Our AI tutor adapts to your level, automatically captures vocabulary in context so you never have to pause to take notes, and uses science-backed spaced repetition to ensure new words stick in long-term memory.

We're solving the hardest part of language learning: getting enough meaningful practice to build real fluency while efficiently expanding your vocabulary. Whether you're a busy professional squeezing in 15-minute sessions or a dedicated learner doing daily practice, Talk with Ren fits into your life and helps you make consistent progress.

How We're Different

Practice Without Fear of Judgment

Many learners know the theory but freeze when speaking. With Talk with Ren, you can make mistakes freely, try out new phrases, and build confidence in a completely judgment-free environment. No pressure, no embarrassment—just natural conversation practice that helps you get comfortable using the language.

Effortless Vocabulary Capture in Context

Stop interrupting your flow to write down new words. As you chat naturally, Ren automatically identifies and saves vocabulary you encounter—complete with meanings, pronunciations, and example sentences from your actual conversation. You learn words in context, exactly how they're used, without breaking your practice momentum.

Personalized to Your Current Level

Before introducing new vocabulary, Ren checks what you already know. Conversations stay challenging but never overwhelming—perfectly calibrated to keep you learning without frustration. The AI adapts in real-time, providing explanations when needed and pushing you forward when you're ready.

Science-Backed Long-Term Retention

Encountering words in conversation isn't enough—you need strategic review to remember them. Talk with Ren uses the proven SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm to schedule reviews at optimal intervals, moving vocabulary from short-term exposure to permanent long-term memory through both recognition and production practice.

Fits Your Schedule, Not the Other Way Around

Life is busy. Start sessions for 15, 30, or 45 minutes. Pause when something comes up and resume later without losing progress. Track your improvement over time with visual dashboards showing sessions completed, vocabulary mastered, and review accuracy. Learning that adapts to your real life, not an idealized schedule.

Built by Language Learners

Talk with Ren was created by a team of language enthusiasts, educators, and AI researchers who were frustrated with existing learning tools. We've combined decades of language learning experience with the latest AI technology to build something truly different.

We're currently in beta, actively developing new features and refining the experience based on feedback from our community of learners.

Who Talk with Ren Is For

Intermediate to Advanced Learners

You already have a foundation—some grammar, basic vocabulary, and simple sentence construction. Now you need to expand your vocabulary and develop conversational fluency through practice. Talk with Ren is designed for learners ready to move beyond beginner lessons and engage in meaningful conversations that challenge and grow their abilities.

Self-Directed Language Enthusiasts

Whether you're a polyglot learning multiple languages or deeply focused on mastering one, you're proactive about your learning journey. You appreciate modern tools and AI technology that can give you immediate feedback, track your progress automatically, and use proven techniques like spaced repetition to maximize retention—all on your own schedule.

Busy Professionals and Students

You have limited time but still want to maintain and improve your language skills. Maybe you're an international student, an expat professional, or someone preparing for opportunities abroad. You need flexible session lengths, the ability to pause and resume, and efficient learning that makes the most of every minute you can spare.

Tech-Savvy Innovators

You're comfortable with technology and excited about AI-powered education. You've tried traditional apps like Duolingo or Anki, and now you're looking for something more immersive and conversation-driven. You appreciate detailed analytics, real-time AI responses, and having all your learning data—conversations, vocabulary, and reviews—integrated in one platform.

Language Teachers and Coaches

While our primary users are learners, educators value Talk with Ren as a high-quality supplemental resource for their students' independent practice. The pedagogical soundness— two-phase vocabulary mastery, spaced repetition, and comprehensive progress tracking—makes it a reliable tool you can confidently recommend as part of a blended learning approach.
