What is Talk Warmup?
Talk Warmup: English Speaking is a speaking-practice app for iPhone by Lyravant. You talk out loud with an AI conversation partner (Claude Haiku from Anthropic, through Lyravant's own server). It's clearly an AI: no romance role-play, no therapy. A a 2-minute spoken placement (listen and repeat) sets your level from A1–C2.
- 200 everyday scenariosIn 10 packs, plus free talk and "Rehearse your real life" for a conversation you're about to have.
- Corrections you can trustAt most a couple per turn, each checked by a second pass and an independent second opinion before it's shown. Then say it again.
- Explained in your language15 languages besides English for explanations and the app. You practise in English.
- Review cardsYour corrected phrases come back with spaced repetition. Free, no AI.
- Pronunciation drillsMinimal pairs ("I heard sheep"), never a pronunciation score. Free, no AI.
- Test prep (Plus)IELTS Speaking parts 1–3, TOEFL iBT, TOEIC Speaking, Duolingo English Test and PTE speaking tasks with official-format timers and mock tests. Practice only, never a predicted score.

Questions
Is Talk Warmup free?
Yes, there's a free plan: one full conversation every day with its recap (free talk or the first 3 scenarios of each pack), all review cards, pronunciation drills, the dictionary, the placement and your streak. Lyravant Plus ($2.99/month, $19.99/year or $49.99 lifetime in the US; local prices vary) unlocks as many conversations as you like within a fair-use limit, every scenario, rehearsals, "how do I say…?", test prep and progress stats. No weekly plan; cancel any time.
Who am I talking to?
An AI conversation partner (Claude Haiku from Anthropic), reached through Lyravant's own server. It's clearly an AI, not a person or a companion: no romance role-play and no therapy.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no account and no ads. Your conversations, saved words and review cards stay on your iPhone.
Can the explanations be in my language?
Yes. Explanations and the app can be in 15 languages besides English (including Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Indonesian and more). You always practise in English.
Does it give an IELTS or TOEFL score?
No. Test prep is practice with official-format timers and feedback per criterion; it never predicts a score or band.
