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 150+ 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!

I’ve been a fan of HelloTalk for a while, but the recent changes in the app’s UI and features have been quite disappointing. One of the biggest frustrations is that regional search, which was once available to all users, has now been made a VIP-only feature. This is a crucial tool for finding language partners in specific countries or regions, and locking it behind a paywall feels like a money-grabbing move. 😔

This app is very good for learning new languages/improving language abilities. However, the only reason I put a 2 star was because of a problem I encountered. I deleted the app because I experienced a few problems that were related to my phone and not the app itself. But when I reinstalled the app, all my chats disappeared and are mot archived. Please, if you could, consider this problem. Thank you in advance

We're sorry to hear about your lost chats after reinstalling the app. HelloTalk's data is stored locally on your phone, so without a prior backup, chat history can't be restored. We recommend backing up periodically via Profile - Settings - Chat Settings. Thank you for your feedback; we're committed to improving our service.

I have been using this app since 2018 and initially found it to be quite usualful. I even had the VIP service for 2 years. However, in a pattern similiar to so many other apps that start out really well, I found that over time this app became more bloated and less user-friendly. Rather than keeping things simple and easy to use, I found that they were constantly updating and changing things, and in my opinion most of these changes & updates didn' really add much value or ease for the end user.
