Speaking practice you can measure
Students hold real spoken conversations with an AI tutor in Mandarin, French, and Spanish, plus , whenever they want. Talio scores every recording for speaking rate, how much they say between pauses, and vocabulary range, then turns that into next steps for the student and a progress view for you.

In twenty years as a student of Mandarin, I’ve often struggled to keep advancing. Talio adapts to meet you where you are and pushes you to improve — useful for beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners alike.

Talio gets students talking
A learner can't practice speaking if their partner talks too much. Talio is designed to get students talking—we find that learners do around 70% of the talking in conversations with Talio, compared with around 50% when speaking with a generic AI tutor.

Practice, measure, coach
1. Practice
Students hold spoken conversations in realistic scenarios, whenever they want, and can rerun a scenario until the real version feels easy.
A live conversation, with hints on request 2. Measure
Every recording is scored for speaking rate, how much they say between pauses, and vocabulary and grammar range, tracked over time.
Every word a learner said, graded for pronunciation 3. Coach
Talio turns the numbers into next steps: the skill to work on and a scenario to practice it in, mapped to CEFR can-do statements.

What instructors and learners say
“I don't have enough time—or TAs—to give every student the speaking feedback they need. Talio fills that gap.”
“Students kept wanting to talk longer than the assignment required. The instant feedback is really precious — even a language partner can't do that.”
“The first time I chatted with the AI for almost an hour. It didn't just ask questions — when I wasn't sure how to answer, it gave me new ways to think about it.”
