Amazing app! I love it 😍

I’ve been using it for few days now And I fell in love with it❤️ I give 4 stars coz there is still room for improvement and the app could go much better than now. I have few suggestions: - firstly please add an option for us to be able to choose more that one language for the practice language option, I’m personally using it to practice 3 languages. Would be great if you let us add more to the list. - please add Kurdish in the native language section, There are more than 40 millions of nativeKurdish speakers now, not only me I’ve also met quite few Kurdish speakers in this app. Now I don’t know what to choose for my native language in this app coz my only native language is kurdish. Thank you!! I’ve been searching for something like this and so happy I finally found it, keep it up and thank you for your hard work🌷✨Andd if you add Kurdish language, I would definitely become a tutor in your app as well. I’m myself a Kurdish tutor.😄

Needs a better policy to deal with racists

I’ve been using this app on and off for months now and I’ve had almost no bad experiences with any of the people except for today. I was talking to two great people and then another person comes in calling us stupid Americans and literally just yelling about how they hate Americans. As soon as they left a Korean person came in yelling “black American black American” and then left. How am I supposed to report them while in the call I they leave so quickly???? How am I supposed to give proof???? The worst part is after the call you can see the table history and after I reported one account I tried to report another but the table history was gone. (Not that reporting it would do a nothing anyways) but I wasn’t able to even block the two people who thought discrimination was funny. The app was doing so well until I saw how they handle those type of people and now I’m pretty frustrated with hilokal smh. Do better.

There are so many good teachers on this app that can help you learn the language you want to improve on. I had my doubts when I downloaded it but I was surprised to find out that this really helps because there are not only Foreign Trainers, but Native Trainers as well. I recommend to anyone who really wants to learn and is dedicated toward their goal. This will help you get there faster.
