The AI has a language level setting but ignores it. I was using it with Thai language and it just uses advanced Thai regardless of setting. I've tried all the scenarios and whether it's a cafe or a restaurant it asks detailed advanced questions. Makes it kind of useless as a learning tool unless you are already an advanced speaker. I think I wasted my money

so far so good, they have translation, transliteration and sound and can translate the sound too, you can also find people nearby in your area but as soon as you mention your WhatsApp number you'll get a warning sometimes aren't sent too, and sometimes video is so bad it often got cut off. A lot of real people but also some people with fake identities using other people profiles. You need to video call them to save time.

it's good for people learning languages but the functions are so limited. for example if you wanna use the translate function in the chat room while talking to someone who speaks the language you're learning, you hit the translate button and it would only translate into the language you typed as 'native'. It is sometimes better to translate the language into English (like French to English rather than French to Korean as I'm learning French) as they translate much better. I wish they would let you select the setting for translate option in the chatroom. Oh plus I don't think know what they are using for translate but their translate isn't as good as Google. It's not even worth it to use translate sometimes. And the 'Learning' part with some videos and audios aren't free so it's not helpful. I wish there was some kind of French podcast or radio instead. That would help. Other than that pretty practical application.

Hi Jihee, Thanks for taking time to write a review for us. Only VIP members can change the translation target language from private chat settings. There are some certain number of free lessons available for each language course in Learn tab, you can get them by accessing to the main page of HelloFrench on the top and clicking [Free Trial].
