HelloTalk Adult

I really wish there would be dating + language exchange platforms / apps and something similar to HelloTalk (in functionality)

or maybe HelloTalk can clone the existing functionality and create “HelloTalk Adult”

I would sign for such a platform / an app

Inspiration could be “picked up” by looking onto existing dating apps / platforms like OK Cupid, Bumble, Once, Badoo, etc

Most of them (if even not all of them) lack Moments functionality and Voice / Video communication functionality like Clubhouse / Whatsapp / Telegram / Wechat, etc

How to become a polyglot, if you are not a genius and language learning doesn’t come easy for you?

How to become a polyglot, if you are not a genius and language learning doesn’t come easy for you?

1. Identify how you learn the best (visually, audially, kinesthetic or maybe even olfactory and gustatory)
2. Use space repetition system (be it paper cards or some free amazing software like Anki)
3. Write, watch, listen, read and of course speak – all this in the target language(s) AND as much as you can
4. “Break down” everything you learn to an easily comprehensible input
5. Learning complete sentences and phrases makes much more sense than learning single words, providing you understand these phrases and sentences. (s. point 4 above)
6. Language immersion is something wonderful. Try to get it, the way, which is most suitable for you. Ask me how.

All this written above is from my personal humble point of view.

If you want, you can donate me some “dinero”:

Short HelloTalk and Tandem comparison

What Tandem is doing better that HelloTalk:

Tandem

+ has full web version of their app
+ allows 8 languages for free (instead of only one language in HelloTalk)
+ voice messages are not only 60 seconds long like at HelloTalk (HelloTalk allows only 60 seconds long voice messages, which is a shame)

What HelloTalk is doing better than Tandem:

+ way better functionality; there are many useful features such as:

  • deleteable messages (!!!)
  • one can quote-reply to ALL messages (!!!)

and many others … If you’d like to know which exactly – ask me.

I regularly submit new features to HelloTalk; let’s see if they will implement any of them.
If they do, I’ll feel happier.
