Technical & App

Pretalk is mobile-first. This site only shows download buttons for verified store listings, so platform availability can vary by release or region.

Offline mode capabilities are planned for future updates! Currently, you'll need an internet connection to access lessons and practice. We're working hard to bring you downloadable lessons so you can learn anywhere, anytime—even without WiFi!

The website provides product information and free learning guides. The interactive lesson experience is available through the currently listed mobile app.
