01 6 MINUTES
You don't have to keep talking for long. Calls end automatically after 6 minutes — easy to try, even for the first time or in a short break.
You can also leave anytime, mid-call.
02 AI SUBTITLES
The other person's words appear as live subtitles, so you're fine even without confidence in English.
*Subtitles and translations may contain errors.
