How to use HelloTalk App to connect with native speakers

[@ilikecake48]

The app itself is excellent but it's difficult to find a consistent partner that will give you the time they take and you can't really blame them, they probably find it really difficult to find the time to teach. Most of my language partners are young adults balancing work and university and all but one of them is in China! And I'm learning German! Makes you really appreciate how hard some people work to achieve.

I was using Hello Talk but recently started using Hello Pal and find it much easier to use with better translation and these neat phrase books. I'm on Android but it's also on IOS.

The intensity with which you approached placing the phone call at the end was so so so good omg X-D the spy thriller music was cracking me up! Thanks for the review, this is good info for me to have.

Day 43: The app is a great way to speak to native speakers. I've used it for a while on and off to practice my target languages. Met a couple of cool people :)

[@joestevens4962]

Thanks for the video Olly. ha ha but i'm old. there's a problem to start with. Seems nobody wants to speak with a wrinkly old prune (66 yrs old) Then I'm male and to top it off, straight with a lovely wife. Then to add a few more broken bottles to walk over, I'm only just starting to try and learn my first second (wow what a contradiction in terms) language. Never been able to in the past. Now I've just spent 180 days (yes, almost 6 months) trying to learn Russian using duolingo and I am still unable to understand people speaking. (They are too fast and my vocab is only a few hundred words) and It seems as though I am a leaky bucket. Even though I am studying words a lot of the day, as I pour them in the top they seem to be leaking out holes anywhere from ner the top to all of the way to the bottom. But as I said, thanks for a great explanation of the app. Oh, one last point, my fone isn't all that good to use (and the user (me) gets lost using it as well) so I was hoping to find someone to speak to/with through my laptop (I thought I was doing pretty good figuring out how to work the laptop then along came apps) Have a wonderful day )))

thanks a lot for the video! very helpful as I'm also wary of apps, but your video has convinced me to give it a shot

[@EscaladaPoliglota]

Imagino que os nativos de inglês tenham muito mais facilidade de encontrar pessoas dispostas a conversar, afinal o inglês é a língua mais procurada, estou um pouco desapontado pois mando mensagem e a grande maioria não responde.

[@boomrang9503]

Hi Olly,i'm not going to ask you about the app coz i already use it and i know how it works.I want to ask you about: 1-How can you find topics to speak about with the people that you're just going to meet,especially when we try to speak(because writing is easier)? 2-Are you learning arabic and japanese in the same time( because i'm learning turkish and i wanna add another language maybe catalan and i am not sure if it is a good idea?

[@storylearning]

sherif oscar I would say, simply try to take an interest in the other person. Ask about them, what they like, what they do. If you click with them, you'll soon find out.

How can i make a phone call?

[@frequencyreached]

I've tried hellotalk for a while. It would be great minus the creeps :(. Many of my female friends that have also used it have had the same experience. I got so fed up that I tried only messaging other women. The only thing is they seemed to only want to message and less willing to keep in contact, at least here in Korea that was my experience.

[@sophiesuzuki4222]

How do you mean by 'less willing to keep in contact' ? Do you mean meeting up in person or calling ?

[@frequencyreached]

Less willing to meet in person and conversations seemed to be more on a superficial level. It never got much farther than how old are you?/ where are you from what o you do?/ type of questions.

[@sophiesuzuki4222]

It's a really nice tool that we can have to help on the long road to fluency. But after a few updates it doesn't work anymore in my internet wireless connection. I already reported this problem from Hello Talk team but seems they have done nothing. But anyway that's it.

[@abdelrahmanabuelnaga8178]

Do i have to buy Hello talk in order for my account to be visible? I texted tens of people who want to learn my native language and who seem from the usage of Hellotalk tools that they don't have practice partners;however,i didn't receive a single response.Does Hellotalk put the accounts of people who haven't bought the app far down in the search?Or is this the normal of the app?

Hello @ollyrichards thank you for sharing this video. I really like the app, I'm connecting with some people really well. When it comes to the big elephant in the room as you called it I have done something that is working well for me so far. I have created a group of people that are helping me with practicing my target languages and another group of people that I have decided to comit to teach them my native languages. Do you have any other suggestion on this? Many thanks!

[@neezduts69420]

I'm a little bit stuck with the app. A lot of them will use more advanced vocabulary than I know and HT have now made in app translation a VIP feature (free is up to 10 a day)

[@painfreewithpaula]

I frequently access my account online from my laptop. It's easy to have HelloTalk open in one tab and Google Translate in another. I can copy the word or phrase I need to look up and paste it into the other tab.

[@elizabethb805]

Hi Olly! Thanks for another very helpful video. Do you have any methods for making it a fair exchange? For example, with my italki pals, we speak 30 minutes in French and then 30 minutes in English. With texting, how would that work? Do you agree to text every other message in each language?

[@storylearning]

With text I’ve always found it to be quite hard to establish these rules because there’s such a low barrier to entry for people to join. For me the best thing has been to try a bunch of people and then quickly see who’s playing along. Many people are time wasters, unfortunately, so don’t feel bad cutting people adrift if they’re not reciprocating!

[@jimmy-ym4nu]

I never have used hellotalk...some people say it is the best and another say it is no so good....somebody can explain to me something about its uses?

[@lorenzovonmatta8278]

Just try it for yourself. It's free to download and practice with native speakers. No need to rely on what other people think. Most important thing is what you think :)

I want to find both, natif French speakers to help me improve more, but I’m also looking for people who want to learn a French, who are beginners or intermediate level speakers. How can I best set up or use this app Hellotalk for this dual purpose? Your input would be immensely appreciated. You may write me at melinski at optimum dot com. Thank you for a great video.
