Description

Practice languages with native speakers on HelloTalk! We recently introduced HelloTalk Live and Voiceroom - interactive language and culture events to help you master languages through the content you love!

HelloTalk, the original language exchange app, connects you with native speakers to practice languages (English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese and 150+ more) for FREE!

HelloTalk equips you with learning tools such as translation and instant captions so you can learn by chatting with native speakers. Learn languages from locals around the world through livestreams and Voicerooms. Connect with expert hosts to discuss interesting topics with language partners in the learning community!

Why HelloTalk?

► Real language learning atmosphere
Whether you're focused on a widely spoken language or a less common one, HelloTalk caters to your needs. The system smartly matches you based on your native language and proficiency, while allowing you to filter ideal language partners according to various criteria such as age, location, and gender. Plus, with built-in translation and transliteration tools, you can communicate confidently without any language barriers.

► A powerful tool for sharpening your language skills
Acquiring new words through conversations with native speakers is more effective than rigid memorization. Whether you're a student preparing for exams like the CET, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, planning to study abroad, or a professional seeking career advancement through language skills, HelloTalk offers native speakers who match your proficiency level for engaging interactions and valuable learning experiences.

► Immersive multi-person language chat rooms
If you choose to learn Spanish, for example, every Voiceroom you enter on HelloTalk gathers Spanish learners and Spanish native speakers from around the world to discuss interesting topics. Here, only your voice needs to be heard, creating a comfortable, introvert-friendly atmosphere. Here, sharing mutual interests allows everyone to freely express themselves and share personal experiences, fostering both language intuition and authentic expression skills. It's incredibly addictive!

► Diverse global Livestreams
HelloTalk features handpicked foreign language hosts who offer online video lessons, share language insights, and provide glimpses into their lives abroad. You can even join them on stage for one-on-one video conversations with fellow language learners. Whether you're grappling with pronunciation, speaking speed, or shyness, these hosts will assist you in refining your language skills and guiding the conversation. For rapid improvement in spoken language, there's no substitute for direct communication with native speakers!

► International Moments
HelloTalk's Moments offers real-time posts covering learning, lifestyle, and cultural insights from around the world.

Great app, but a little suggestion:

This is an amazing app for language learning because it really pushes you to learn in real life situations with other friendly users. I’ve been using it for a few months now and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to add creativity to their learning and speed up the process!

I do have a suggestion to the developers though… I would like to subscribe to the listening skills section where I can read the basic picture stories and learn in this way, but I won’t subscribe at all until you can do something about the scrolling banner at the top of the page, it’s so very distracting, it just tells you the title of the story but it’s constantly scrolling back and forward and so I can’t take my eyes off it instead of reading the story I’m supposed to be reading 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ quite a big flaw when it comes to concentration (and my concentration isn’t the best). So I hope you can fix this easy issue and then I can subscribe and perhaps more people would prefer this too. Many thanks.

Greetings! We're glad you like HelloTalk and totally understand that it still needs more work. Your suggestion means a lot to us. We’d love to know more details on how we can make your experience with HelloTalk even better!

So helpful!

I've been using the app for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it, unless you want to pay for the app you can only choose one language to begin with but that doesn't stop you from searching and communicating with people who speak other languages you want to learn too! I'm currently talking to people who speak Korean, Spanish and German and helping them learn English! It's really fun and it's so great to be able to see what an average person from these cultures does on a daily basis and how our cultures differ. It's also super easy and everyone seems open for you to message them and start up a conversation! It can also be really handy if you like to travel and our looking for places to go or places to stay as you can get a local to tell you what they know and who even knows if you become good enough friends with them, you can easily meet up with them too! I don't really have anything bad to say about this app and would thoroughly recommend it!!!

Blocked from using.

EDIT: After contacting HelloTalk and creating a new account, the app is working and despite previous troubles, I will continue using the app. Even though I've had issues, the features on the app are good enough that I recommend it to a lot of people. The systems that run HelloTalk (customer service etc) need to be considered but the app itself is great for learning languages etc. (I have changed my rating to 4 from 2 as I am now able to actually use the app without issue).

I loved HelloTalk. However, after using the app for a year, paying for the pro subscription, I found my account suddenly blocked. I cannot sign in, and when trying to create a new account the app tells me that I cannot use this device with the app. I have tried contacting HelloTalk support for help, but they haven't replied. I feel ignored and confused. I have no idea why my account was blocked and I am frustrated that I can't continue to use the app. It's a good app, and I have made many friends through it. However, this has made me switch to Tandem. If my device can be allowed to use the app, I would happily switch back to HelloTalk.

Developer Response ,

Could you please let us know your HelloTalk ID or email to support@hellotalk.com so we could investigate suspension issue and get this solved for you ASAP? Thanks for your cooperation.
