TalkMe
Insights, stories, and practical tips to help you speak confidently across languages.
The calendar reminder glows on your screen: "Career Discussion with Manager." A knot forms in your stomach. A dozen questions race through your mind. How do I start? Do I sound too demanding? What if I freeze and forget my biggest accomplishments? What if they say no?
Imagine this: you meet someone new at the park, they ask if you like sports, and you keep the conversation flowing naturally—no awkward pauses. Or you’re at a gym in a new city, trying to find the locker rooms, and you know exactly what to say to get the directions you need. With TalkMe’s “Talking About Sports or Fitness” course series, these moments become effortless.
They say food is the universal language—but with TalkMe, you can talk about it in 7 real languages. Our “Talking About Favorite Foods” course series is more than just vocabulary and grammar—it’s a feast of real-life scenarios that help you chat naturally about the dishes you love, the flavors you crave, and the cultural traditions you cherish.
Imagine this: you’ve just landed in a new city, excited for your trip. You step up to the hotel desk or call ahead to confirm your booking—but suddenly, you need to negotiate a corporate rate, dispute an unexpected fee, or explain that you’re traveling with a pet. Situations like these can be stressful, especially in another language.
Imagine arriving at a hotel after a red-eye flight, exhausted, and saying: “I was wondering if an early check-in might be feasible.” Instead of fumbling for words, you sound confident, polite, and professional.
When you travel, few things are more stressful than standing at the hotel front desk, trying to handle payments, deposits, or unexpected charges—in another language. What if your card is declined? How do you ask about a security deposit? Can you politely dispute a charge?
