Cafés, airports, offices, visa desks — every scene has someone waiting for you to speak. Get the thing done, and you pass. No multiple choice, no flashcards, no vocabulary drills.
Everything in TiboSpeak exists to get you talking — and to tell you exactly what to fix afterwards.
You speak, the character answers — at a natural pace, out loud. There is no list of replies to tap. The whole scene moves forward because you said something.
They remember what you just said, push back when you are unclear, get impatient, and rephrase things when you are stuck. Mess up a tense but land the meaning — the goal still counts.
Your age, your job and your reason for learning shape the script. Two people at the same CEFR level never get the same content.
Three scores after each scene — task completion, pronunciation and fluency — plus line-by-line notes that quote what you actually said.
More natural ways to say what you tried to say, each with a model reading you can tap and shadow. The full transcript stays saved.
Tibo calls each morning with one small topic you can answer in a sentence. Pick up, and today's speaking is done — your streak stays alive.
You choose how much help each line gets — and you are the one who takes the rails away.
The whole sentence sits on screen. Say it out loud, that's all.
You get the words that matter. The sentence is yours to build.
Nothing on screen. By now you can do it — and you find out that you can.
Stuck mid-scene? Rescue is layered too — a hint, a slower repeat, a simpler line from the character. You never get stranded.
Roughly five minutes, start to finish. Then you go again, or come back tomorrow.
A task card with two to four goals — order a large latte, ask for less sugar, get the Wi-Fi password. Warm up on the key phrases and get pronunciation feedback before you walk in.
Full-screen scene, ambient sound, a character who talks back. Your goals light up one by one as you get them done. Subtitles are yours to switch off whenever you feel ready.
One to three stars from task completion, pronunciation and fluency. Then replay your own lines, see which sounds slipped, and save the better phrasings into your review book.
The city, the stage and the review book.

Your life in English gets bigger as you go. The map talks about neighbourhoods, not exam levels — but it does map onto CEFR.
Cafés, corner shops, asking for directions. The first scene lives here.
Check-in desks, hotel front desks, returning something that broke.
Parties where you know nobody, doctor's appointments, renting a flat.
Interviews, speaking up in meetings, negotiating terms you care about.
Debate, giving a talk, open-ended small talk that goes anywhere.
One minute a day with Tibo, wherever you are on the map. Free for everyone.
The first scene is free, in full — the placement call and the daily call too.

No. TiboSpeak is built for people who have the vocabulary and grammar but freeze when it is time to talk — roughly CEFR A2 to B2. Complete beginners start in Cozy Corner with survival phrases, reading each line aloud until the words come on their own.
Rescue arrives in layers: a hint about what to say, a slower repeat, subtitles, and finally the character rephrasing in simpler English. A scene never dead-ends because you missed something.
No. Goals are judged on whether the message landed. Wrong tense but the barista understood you? That goal is done. The mistakes still show up in the debrief, where fixing them costs you nothing.
You take a three-minute call with Tibo instead of a multiple-choice test. It listens to how you actually speak, then combines that with your age, job and goal to write your first batch of scenes.
Your speech is captured while a scene is running so it can be turned into text, scored, and replayed to you in the review. What we keep, how long we keep it, and how to have it deleted are all spelled out in our Privacy Policy.
Anytime, in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends and you keep access until it runs out.
