HelloTalk equips you with learning tools such as translation and instant captions so you can learn by chatting with native speakers.

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!

This app is way too greedy for money. It’s hard to find people you can connect to now. I have to pay just to match with people? Seriously, wow.
Jahn Dowe • May 13, 2026
I love using the app to connect with others around the world. It is truly unique in that sense. There are also some useful aspects like translator. However, like most other applications HelloTalk believes more is better (like adding AI Avatar features that you accidentally click on during navigation). There are other buggy aspects that I don’t prefer but overall it’s a great way to connect with others. Not great for learning really but great for practicing. The translator is also subpar.

The app itself is nice but almost everything needs to have VIP so you can’t actually make friends and you can basically do almost nothing in there except for learning languages by using the AI stuff but what would make the experience better is by not forcing a lot of features to be VIP like some features to be VIP is ok but like half of the features in the app are not.
Iixnaxx • May 12, 2026
I love the app and the concept, but I feel like it’s a bit unusable unless you pay for VIP. Has a lot of potential. ATLEAST GIVE ME UNLIMITED CALL TIME!! 😭🙏

Best to just avoid this app. They’ll delete your account without warning and refuse to give you any warning.
Juda S • May 10, 2026
I downloaded this app a couple days ago. I was skeptical when I downloaded it, because so many language learning apps aren’t very good. but this app is truly the best. I get to speak with other people that are very serious and learning a new language. And the love and the support that I get is amazing. I even paid for a monthly subscription, and it’s really affordable. I am picking up the language that I am learning. I recommend this and to all!
cami.mo • May 7, 2026
i used to use this app like years ago and then deleted it after i got harrassed by a weird man.. i redownloaded last month to try again and give this app another try and it kept giving me “network error” whenever id try to log in or sign up with each button. i deleted it and then redownloaded it again today and it still doesn’t work this app doesn’t work at all..

Got banned for no reason!
Mildredie • May 4, 2026
I had used this app since 2016!!! 2016!!! so yeah I kinda consider myself an og on the app however last year I was banned from the livetalk and streaming features because I posted a screenshot of comments from the Chinese dating app "tantan" it seems it offended someone so much that they decided to report me. I have no idea why what ever I posted can warrant a lifetime ban from streaming and participating in live activities on the platform. I can say 1star is a harsh review since I owe most of my Chinese language ability to this app but the ban was very unfair and kinda arbitrary.

Upon making my profile was offered VIP membership free for three days, was automaticity charged a full year subscription. BEWARE
Stanban99 • May 3, 2026
After spending more than I’d like to admit on the app my account was removed and I have no clue why. I tried contacting support and nothing. Save your time and money with a different learning resource
bjrnejdisiejdndb • Apr 30, 2026
Beware app will post location and no way to remove it !!
nickname384737 • Apr 30, 2026
I’m learning Greek, and there seems to be very little Greek activity on Hellotalk. So, it doesn’t seem very useful.
Tttffdsserggvghj • Apr 29, 2026
Every time I tap on the profile icon my whole screen turns gray & I can’t go back, like what the h***!!
boguspogusnutjob • Apr 29, 2026
people claim they wanna talk and be friends but the. they ghost u or theyre a weirdo. theres also SO MUCH AI it's unbearable. i havent learned anything from this app either...
tgiaccone • Apr 28, 2026
The app has a high cost of usage. The basic VIP plan seems fairly useless. The topics you can study are not helpful for building knowledge used in conversation and everything has an additional cost. Other language apps are better values.
jsjsnndjdla • Apr 25, 2026
差评.一直没有回复.我在这里能够学习什么??
Aaaaaaaaanonymous • Apr 25, 2026
There is always ads popping up when you click anything. It’s terribly annoying and a lot of features to talk to people are paid only.
Jbroinc • Apr 24, 2026
HelloTalk has always been a way for me to connect to more people. Nobetheless there seems to still be a lot of bugs in the VR capabilities like refreshing the list of VRs and updating information on the VR title. Everytime I try updating it erases part of the title and doesn't let me type more letters
jealfay • Apr 19, 2026
A lot of people are there looking for dates. The language learning voice rooms are only helpful for beginners. The native speakers only prefer to talk to other native speaker instead of learners. The concept is good, but most users there aren’t really trying to learn.
