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 160+ 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!

Great way to learn languages with other people. Has good features like translation to. Not perfect, about as good as Google Translate, but helpful. Also record function, so you can practice pronunciation! EDIT: The app introduced AI as a cash add on. For Japanese, it often gets confused whether the characters are Japanese kanji or Chinese. If thin worked properly, it would be a good feature.

Hi there! Thanks for your kind words about our language learning features. We appreciate your feedback on the AI add-on and are working to improve its accuracy with Japanese kanji. Please share your HelloTalk ID or email at support@hellotalk.com so we can investigate further.

Concept is good, but as a woman, you see a lot of men in your inbox who are not looking for language exchange. They're not learning your language or speak the language you're learning. It would be a massive improvement if you could choose to only make your profile visible to e.g. other women. I'm interested in language exchange, but if people are just using this as a potential dating app, then I'm out.

Thank you for your feedback, and sorry for any inconvenience caused. You can go to Settings - Privacy - Who Can Find Me and enable the [Same Gender Only] option to address this issue. Additionally, please report anyone using HelloTalk for dating purposes so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

The app has many features that are great for language learning, such as translation, being able to add corrections to messages, reading text out loud, etc. However, I am very disappointed that the app has put a lot of limits on these features unless you pay for a premium membership. Before, you only needed to pay if you wanted to learn multiple languages at a time but now features are limited. For example, you can only use the translation feature 10* times a day which makes it pretty useless.

Free members are limited to 10 translations per day. Our optional VIP membership includes unlimited translations per day. This applies to all translations used the app, including chatting, Moments, and anywhere else. If you could only use 5 times translation a day, please contact us via email (support@hellotalk.com) and we'll help you to fix it.
