HelloTalk - Learn Languages

The app and concept are both amazing. You can meet many friends and get to know people from what feels like a different world. I've been learning Russian myself lately and there a lot of kind people willing to correct you and kindly offer help. I also just wanted to say that there seems to be some crashing, backgrounding, and notification issues as well, and I really wish that it was way more affordable to get a lifetime membership so that I could add more languages, etc. Besides that perfect

this is my favorite app to make friends with now. there's slight language barriers but that's also interesting to see, I have not seen one scammer yet. I get to talk to people all over the world, lots of free options. lots of women too. honestly, not one scammer. boo, hoop, purp, bumble, all trash. this is one of the BEST apps to talk to real people and learn about culture. even matched with people in my state. I'm surprised with the amount of conversations I'm getting, I can't keep up.

Ads ads ads! You must dismiss pop-ups! More pop-ups! More ads! Then you must deal with the people. The couple I've met in person have had ulterior motives. One tried to recruit me for a cult, the other was using the app for what it's designed for, finding dates. That's what all of the features encourage. Location updates, pay a premium to find out who's in your neighborhood.

the free trial was great. way better than Duolingo with much more to do. just be careful of which membership you're getting. I thought it would be everything for 160$ but it ended up just connecting me to more people to talk to in other languages. the AI conversations are great, talking to ppl is great and the classrooms are great. figure out what works best for you and use that membership.

Most people want to be friends, they arent helpful for language learning. They have learning sections on the app but you have to pay for the full version, even if you are able to make a friend, the app deletes chat history and makes you pay to see chat history. No thanks.. Edit: i tried the app again after a year for 6 months. If you pay for the VIP its only good for having unlimited translations and live stream time, I have friends abroad now but it hasn't helped my learning.
