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!

Edit: Since I started using the app around 2016, several free features are now locked away behind paywalls. Not being able to see visitors to your page or search people in your area make this app utterly useless. I stopped using it because you can't make real connections anymore. Some of the people I've met on this app are one of my best friends now. With how the free features of HelloTalk work now, I wouldn't have been able to meet them at all. Very disappointing, especially (post-)pandemic.

All in all it is a very good app, very effective concept! My only problem is it has a lot of bugs. F.e. at the moment I can't see any moments at all, let alone comment. When this works, something else doesn't. Edit: After the update the app has been running smoothly. I really like that, you only get notification if you are active on the app, otherwise it would be really bothersome. One star less, because the ppl treat it as a social media, more than a learning platform. All in all I'm satisfied.

I really like this app. It's really helpful. I hope that there will be more people discovering this app in the future :) Some problems: The app is a lot of times quite slow, but I don't know if you can fix that. And there are a few problems after the latest update: I don't like that you can't see the online status or if the person saw your message now, unless you click on the chat. And the thing that I don't like at all is that you can click on the profile pictures now! Please change it back!

Sorry for poor performance issue you encountered.Would you please send an in-app message to HelloTalk Team and describe more? The reason we removed online status of chat list is to make interface more clear. And we finally made profile picture being able to be enlarged as people tend to find partners by profile photo. Thanks for your understanding!
