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.

ā–ŗ A powerful tool for sharpening your language skills

1) In the middle of texting my language partner, a commercial for dating came on. It startled me, cuz I didn't see any video appearing, I just heard the voice. I had no YouTube or other social media platforms open at the time. There was no option to turn it off. Finally, I navigated away from the chat page I was on, and that stopped the voice streaming. This is very creepy and super intrusive. 2) The language exchange function has many glitches. Response: no screen recording can show sound pb.

HelloTalk is an amazing platform to learn languages by chatting with native speakers. I've improved my English and Arabic through real conversations, and the translation and correction tools are super helpful. It's more than just learning—it's connecting with people worldwide. A few small speed improvements would help, but overall, it’s a five-star experience. Highly recommended!

It's not as good as it seemed. I did meet a couple of people in here, but there aren't just many people to talk to. On top of that, it is getting buggy. I mean, my chats aren't saved if I delete the app and reinstall it. An audio advertisement about Bumble(dating app) pops out of nowhere when I'm using the app. When I go back from a user's profile, I get a quick advertisement(in one second), and it dissappears. It's getting really buggy and annoying. It's time to delete this app.
