The uTalk app is free to download for iPhone and iPad, and you can try any of the languages for free with our Starter Pack. ![]() Something that’s not new but always helpful to have is the search bar at the top of the screen that you can use to search for words when you’re in a rush. We’ve added beautiful imagery and interactive descriptions of how the app features will help you learn, so you always know exactly what you’re getting. The store inside the app where you can purchase extra topics has a brand new look too, which we think is nice to play with. These are designed to keep you motivated every time you get past a small milestone (like getting 30 correct answers in a row or try out half of the topics), we’ll reward you with stars that can be used to buy the uTalk Specials. We’ve introduced the Score Dashboard where you can see your points, your stars, uTalk Specials and Achievements. These are extra topics that you may find helpful in various situations such as Camping, Driving, Sailing and many others. By earning stars and achievements you can then buy additional topics or what we call uTalk Specials. ![]() Stars are the biggest change within the new features, and it’s safe to say we’re all pretty excited about them! With the Stars, the more you play the more you get, so they’re basically in-game coins. Our small office has been very busy recently preparing a big new update to uTalk, and we’re very happy to finally share it with you! Some of you may have already tried it – if you have we’d love to hear what you think. Email us at or tweet us with #m圜ockney to join the discussion! Want to have a go yourself? We’re giving away uTalk Cockney with the Evening Standard – and you get a free month’s subscription to all 133 other languages as well! Just visit .uk/offers to get started.Įnjoy! And we’d love to hear what you think – we know Cockney is constantly changing, and that not everyone has the same way of saying things. Patrick, who’s from Hackney, got the crowd warmed up with some Cockney quizzes (some harder than others), before inviting everyone to come and have a go with the app. On Sunday we were back in the East End, giving Cockney lessons to visitors at the Roman Road Summer Festival. Our launch even made the news! As well as a feature on ITV London News on Thursday evening, our language expert Nat appeared on London Live with chairman Dick to talk about the app, and was interviewed with actor Patrick by Robert Elms on Friday morning for BBC Radio London (listen from 1 hour 40 mins onwards). It was a fantastic day – thank you to everyone who got involved. ![]() They had fun playing the games, and were keen to show our chairman Dick what they’d learnt.Īnd we finished with a good old-fashioned East End knees up, led by our Pearly King and Queen, pianist Mick Yarrow and the voice of uTalk Cockney, Patrick Mackervaie. Some children from Olga Primary School popped in to put the uTalk app to the test. The Pearly King and Queen learned how to use the app, and were impressed! If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you’ll know that last week uTalk became the world’s first Cockney language learning app! The traditional East London rhyming slang was launched at G Kelly pie shop on the Roman Road by the Pearly King of Forest Gate and Pearly Queen of Old Kent Road.
