Some of you might already have heard of this App, but just in case you haven’t, let me tell you something about HelloTalk (Spoiler: It’s amazing)
It’s an App that makes finding Native Speakers and immersing yourself in your target language incredibly easy! After signing up you say which languages you can speak (and teach) and which ones you would like to learn and what your current level is, and then you’re ready to find other language learners!
HelloTalks concept isn’t repeating vocabulary and grammar rules over and over again, but actually using your target language with native speakers!
(this isn’t one of my conversations, i got this from the google play store, i wasnt comfortable putting one of my real conversations on here)
Hellotalk makes it easy for you to correct each others mistakes and add comments explaining it! You can practise speaking and pronunciation by sending audio messages or doing (free) voice calls!
there’s a translator function in the app that you can use while you’re writing your message, which means that, if you forget a word you don’t have to close the app and look it up somewhere else, you can do it all on the actual app.
When you receive messages, it also gives you several options
you can favourite, correct, listen to or translate the message you receive, which makes understanding each other as easy as possible!
A new thing that has been added recently is the “Moments” feature, which is sort of like a timeline feature, where you can publicly post in your native or target language and let your language partners see what you’re up to right now or like and comment on other peoples Moments
This App is just so very helpful and I literally don’t see a single reason to not download this app, if you’re passionate about language learning, especially because it’s FREE
