HelloTalk

HelloTalk launched in 2017 as an online community that connects learners with native speakers to be learning language exchange buddies. You can even find people that are learning your language and are nearby, if you want to practice face to face.

HelloTalk can be accessed via iOS or Android devices. The platform supports over 150 languages and boasts more than 15 million members.

Whilst communicating, the platform uses built-in translation and pronunciation aids. Chats can be between two people or groups and the learning software lets people connect via several methods:

• Text, and voice to text
• Voice recordings
• Voice calls
• Video calls

This online social community is free, but there are certain upgrades available. The VIP and Pro memberships offer lots of special features, like the ability to add more languages, get more exposure to potential learning partners, and unlimited translations. You can join with a monthly, annual, or lifetime membership.

Users can sign in with Facebook or WeChat credentials.
