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

Ratings and Reviews
Been a HelloTalk user for 5 years
I’ve been using HelloTalk for the past 5 years almost 6 years soon. I’ve witnessed this app improve in its development over the years. There never was a “correction” function but now it’s commonplace and everyone enjoys this function. There has also been improvements in the User Experience. I was impressed by the continuous development of the app I decided to pay annual subscription so I can find learners of more than 1 language. I’m learning 3 languages now through the app. I’ve made plenty of friends. Although some I haven’t talked to in years, I have a couple of close friends who remain my friends to this day. It’s all thanks to HelloTalk which has become a language community on its own.
I recommend people who download the app to actively try to learn their target language with natives and form friendships. But this also takes time and don’t expect to have a beat friend in a day here.
Great app but lost chat messages
The app uses phone memory to store chat messages? Not sure if that’s the case but I reset my device and found that only the group chats remained. This app is really great and helpful in learning languages, I have found new friends as well. But now our chat messages are gone on my account. Good thing I backed up my device before proceeding with reset. Hope you can improve this! Good luck and thanks for developing such a great app.

Please note that HelloTalk's data is stored locally on your phone. If you delete the app and then reinstalled it without backing up your data beforehand, you will lose your chat history. Thank you for your feedback. We will pass your concern to our product team.
My Experience in 2 weeks
This app is very convenient for communicating with people outside of your home country, but the only problem is that the app is very unbalanced, a lot of people wants to learn English, so as expected a lot of people would strike a conversation with you. It’s not really a bad thing for most people, but for me it gets super irritating sometimes, due to the fact I have to reply to every single one. The average messages I get in a day is about 10-20 messages (from different people), sometimes it goes over that. Of course it’s optional to reply back, but i’m the type of person who doesn’t want a person to feel ignored so I struggle. This app also needs more convenient features like; swiping left to reply to a message and add react emojis to texts, but overall it’s a very useful app and the people I met so far are so nice, thanks to this app my Mandarin (Chinese) is getting better!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your support! We will continue to further improve our app, and your suggestions are a very important part of this process. Though we can not guarantee whether we can implement every piece of feedback, we certainly do our best to review it fully before coming to a decision.
