Episoden Service Introduction

Once you log in to Episoden, you can have real face-to-face video English conversations with people from around the world within 2 minutes.
Episoden users are matched 1-on-1 with foreigners who want to practice English conversation, or native speakers who want to connect with people from other countries, for 7-minute video conversations.

Practice English conversation 100% free by talking with other English learners.
The short 7-minute conversation format is low-pressure and gives you the joy of meeting new people.
Our matching algorithm, based on mutual ratings after each conversation, connects you with people at a similar English level who you'd love to meet again.
