If you're tired of robotic language drills and want real conversational practice, HelloTalk delivers. This app connects you directly with native speakers worldwide for text, voice, and video exchanges. It's like having a language partner in your pocket, complete with built-in correction tools and cultural insights.

My Full Experience

I've been using HelloTalk for about six months to brush up on my Spanish, and it's completely changed how I approach language learning. Instead of memorizing vocabulary lists, I'm having actual conversations with people from Mexico City to Madrid. The interface lets you post moments (like a social media feed) where natives can correct your grammar, and the translation tools are handy when you hit a vocabulary wall. What really stands out is how patient most users are—I've connected with everyone from college students to retirees who genuinely want to help each other learn. The voice message feature is perfect for practicing pronunciation without the pressure of live conversation. That said, the search function can sometimes be finicky about finding nearby-level partners, and occasional glitches with message delivery do pop up (though they've improved noticeably in recent updates). It's not just about language—I've learned about cultural nuances, local slang, and even made a few friends I plan to visit someday. The free version is surprisingly robust, though power users might want the subscription for unlimited translations and ad-free browsing. Just remember to set clear boundaries since some users do treat it like a dating app (despite community guidelines against it).

Key Features

  • Real-time corrections from native speakers
  • Voice and text chat with translation support
  • Language-focused social feed ('Moments')

I know the idea of meeting people worldwide and exchange languages sounds very interesting and can be educational, and I really was hoping to talk with people but the app is just very glitchy that it is impossible for me to chat with people. First, when I send a message to someone I don’t know if they can see my message, but when I first text them and then they reply I can’t see their message. Unless I’m missing something in my account but I don’t think so. Second, I tried asking help and they answered me but I hustled can’t send proof of what’s happening to me. It doesn’t allow me to send the proof or anything. I tried paying their subscription because I thought “Maybe I have to pay to see others’ messages” it sounds stupid but that’s what I thought, so I paid for it and still nothing. Basically I just wasted my time and $12.99 dollars. I’m not encouraging other people to not download it, but I just find it confusing and very disappointing that it didn’t work as expected.

Hello to HelloTalk and all the people who are reading this! I absolutely love this, it looks fun, you can make friends, you can learn a language(I’m an American learning Persian also HelloTalk if you reply pls don’t put your text in person), and you can date for some reason. But I really love it it’s so amazing! I’m learning Persian because I really want to go to Iran! But there is something I want to return… and that is the learn tab I mean.. it’s on the HelloTalk tab but it should be its own tab so people don’t have to look for everything. But this app is so fun!!! Absolutely awesome but I want something to come back Hello to HelloTalk and all the people who are reading this!
