About this app

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.

I've enjoyed using this app every day for a long time. However, the latest update seemingly removed location/country/city information from the "Connect" tab, which is how I've found all language partners so far and the most important feature to me. Now, the location can't be viewed unless each individual profile is tapped on, which makes the Connect tab useless to me. This is essentially the only reason I used this app and not Tandem. I'm not sure how long I'll continue if this change remains

I personally really like this app, and have learned quite a bit just within a couple days of having it, especially through corrections of my "moments" posts. Speaking of moments, I wish there was an option in moments to be able to post videos, as there's some clips of my hobbies I would like to share. If there is a way to post video clips and I just missed it, then this critique can be disregarded :)

There are many features designed to help you learn your target language and interact with native speakers. Yes, sometimes you'll encounter rude people but it's easy to block them. Two things I don't like: It doesn't have a "dark mode" option. There should be a trial to use the upgraded version before committing to paying the exorbitant cost to buy it.

Sorry that your last experience in HelloTalk was unsatisfactory. If you come across anyone who attempts to use the app for inappropriate purposes, please report the person. Please kindly understand that our app still needs more work for dark mode. If you have any further advice about our app, please kindly contact us from the Support Team.
