Speaking and understanding a new language can be difficult and frustrating.
Time2Talk helps tackle that problem by connecting users with native speakers in their home countries. The app, which was launched with Spanish coaches, allows people to practice the language at any time and pay a per-minute fee.
"When you are in the process of learning a language, you go through the steps of basic grammar and structure, sentences, then work on listening skills and writing skills," said Marina Jackman, who founded the company with her husband, Chris Jackman. "You come to a point in which you have to talk to keep advancing. You have to speak to people and communicate."
