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!

► 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!

still a useful app. but the newer "features" of the last couple of years, designed to drive more engagement, just detract from the learning and have resulted in a more shallow, slightly chaotic app. Tandem is overall a better app for language practice with people, in my opinion. But the "moments" feature of HelloTalk can be a nice way to see interesting cultural things and start conversations (although mainly people are just posting gym photos and pictures of food)

Once a 5* app for learning & practising languages, sadly nowadays HT is more interested in becoming Instagram. Many of the useful features no longer work & are being replaced by non-language related interactions. The main interface is a barrage of useless material which is encouraged by the app designers. The majority of the users aren't interested in learning a language. It's a shame really.

The streak system did not need an update. I liked the lottery aspect of being about to win HT coins, but it's now has reset my gift lottery streak and extended the date so I can win... a freeze card? The system was perfect before, it gave opportunity to win things for free as everything is already behind a pay wall, for both VIP and non-VIP. Not everything needs to be purchased with money, give a chance to win things for free like the HT coins. I pay a lot for VIP already, make some things free!
