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!

This is a social media app, with language learning a very distant second place. Lots of selfies from young women and lots of slightly creepy responses from guys. I spent a few hours correcting English and trying to engage in meaningful discussion, but with very little to show for it. If you're a woman I'd look closely at the privacy features before installing. If you're a guy, please, please don't leave weird comments. Uninstalling.

Worst experience ever. Many times when I'm sending a picture to someone,,, somehow, HT decides to send a completely different file.. just now, I was sending an image to someone, and instead, a completely personal file was sent! You can't undo it, you can't stop it, you just allow strangers to see your personal files just because the stupid app wanted that. Horribe experience that marks my last use of it.

It's very strange how, as soon as I subscribed to premium, I no longer receive any notifications or messages. Whereas before, I was bombarded with messages from various users. You'd think paying for premium would benefit my account, but it's just made my experience worse. The very second I subscribed, I stopped receiving messages. As soon as I paid for premium, It's like my profile no longer existed anymore.
