Source and method for every figure in the list above: SpeakPal Club product analytics (Amplitude), read-only query on 4 November 2026. Unless a bullet names a different window, a real conversation is a completed call of 30 seconds or longer, 6 August–3 November 2026 (Europe/Madrid), and a per-learner count is the calls that learner joined. Both people on a call are logged. Country is inferred by the analytics platform. Bullets that count every logged session include connection attempts under 30 seconds. Peak-hour bullets use 27 October–3 November 2026 in local time. Return-rate bullets are the share with another real conversation on that exact day, for cohorts from 6 August to 4 October 2026. Goal bullets are self-selected and can include people who never had a real conversation.

Methodology and limitations
Figures come from read-only SpeakPal Club product analytics (Amplitude) queried on 4 November 2026 and match Study 1 (conversations, length, goals, return rates; 6 August-3 November 2026, Europe/Madrid), Study 2 (peak hours; 27 October-3 November 2026, Asia/Tashkent) and Study 3 (levels and native languages). A real conversation is a completed call of 30 seconds or longer, a line chosen to exclude dropped or failed connection attempts, most of which last under 10 seconds; shorter sessions are connection attempts. Figures were re-pulled on 4 November 2026 with this 30-second threshold (an earlier version used 60 seconds). Both participants log every call; per-learner figures are unaffected, while session counts are not halved for a single country. Return rates are N-day rates for cohorts from 6 August to 4 October 2026, so every learner had 30 days to return. Levels, goals and native languages are self-reported; country is IP-inferred. An earlier draft used all sessions including drop-offs (for example 49.4 “calls” per learner and a 3 min 44 s average); those figures are superseded.
