iTalki vs HelloTalk vs Tandem | 3 Top Language Exchange Apps

[@jahipalmer8782]

I use italki for my conversation practice. My tutor is super helpful and is always able to keep the conversation going even when I can't think of anything to talk about.

[@gringotolatino]

The advantage of paying is that someone is actually invested in your learning. That makes sense.

[@kenkusagami]

I still prefer Tandem over HelloTalk ,because i like to chat 1 by 1 ,not by a bunch of people at once, but recently I don't get replies from anyone ,i wonder what's happening on them ,and whenever i messaged the same gender person as me ,they usually ignore me. ,only the opposite gender might reply me back.

[@gringotolatino]

Sorry dude

[@okay8877]

Lol the same…

[@user-nk8zx1yw8s]

People are weird like that. 90% of the messages sent to me were from the opposite gender. I did have good conversations though, so I don’t mind.

[@frespaniol]

Men reply only to women And women usually reply to anyone interesting

[@jolly3807]

I signed up today and within 10 minutes my messages were completely flooded. I have no idea if this is some sort of algorythm thing but I just can't really respond to everybody.

[@bellasals2682]

Tandem is the best ever for me. I've been using the app for almost 3 years🥰 thanks for sharing!

[@abrahmanhaji9551]

Can i meet you there( on tandem)

[@devilangel4655]

The difference is by italki is, your are paying by getting lessons face to face directly. The others ones are more like, you have to be lucky, getting somebody who wants to talks, or you have to wait for some answer. And overtime some getting rude or spam etc.

[@gringotolatino]

That is 100% true. But I have found some great friends through the others and have been able to keep in contact with them for a long time

[@devilangel4655]

@@gringotolatino That’s your luck😉 I have also someone from Italki, a good communication like a friend. The others platform, not really waiting so long for a answer, but glad it workout for you, networking is important nowadays!

[@maniyaz8553]

Hi, I'm using Hello talk application From 1 month this app give me good response so thank you so much without your help it cannot be possible so thank you once again .❤️❤️

[@gringotolatino]

That’s fantastic! I am so glad you are getting results!

[@Handicappuccinofinace-nv2bt]

A revolutionary idea I came up with is add in a feature that would allow you to open the links for someone else so there’s no way anyone can mistake you for spammer because I had to come and reason why people get reported on social media

[@beccas1364]

I've personally had bad luck with Tandem, it seemed like every other guy in my DMs was trying to flirt and it got really annoying

[@gringotolatino]

I have heard that as well. I haven’t experienced that problem as a guy, but I can see how that can be very frustrating when all you want to do is learn. I am sorry for your bad experience.

[@Nature_adventure]

Thank you for recommendation, as I have just started learning Chinese recently.

[@ralfherrmann77]

Do you think, that there are enough options on Tandem and HelloTalk for people, who don't want to lead conversations? Honestly I'm too socially awkward for that, but I still would like to help others by correcting their sentences or pronunciation without learning a language for myself. Anyways great Video 👍

[@gringotolatino]

It all depends on who you meet there. I have met many people who have no desire to learn English but are more than happy to correct my Spanish. But not everyone is like that. Thanks for the comment!

[@ralfherrmann77]

Then I'll give it a try. Thank you for your fast reply!

[@EdGoPlaces]

👍🏾I travel to many places to shoot videos and would like to learn Spanish. Your content was helpful.

[@mushroom-wd1xg]

Well, I am very grateful for your comparison between these three apps for language exchange learning. cause I haven't figured the differences out by myself. So once again you have my big Thanks. Now what I gotta do is to try tandem, because hello talk in China. isn't charge free. And Italki needs a lot of money investment to begin with Yeah, that's it. I gotta start with tandem

[@thatomarymokhothu203]

How do you only have 312 subscribers? Like wut? Thanks for the vid, hope you get more numbers!

[@gringotolatino]

Haha! I don’t know. I don’t post videos consistently enough I guess. Trying to change that. Thank you for your kind words.

[@marty.l]

Thanks for sharing. I haven't used any language exchange apps. I have only used language learning apps only since I wanted to focus my time to get past at least the beginner level before using any language exchange app. Maybe if I get to the intermediate level I will start using it as I think it would be more productive.

[@gringotolatino]

Check out my video about how I used tandem. I started texting in the app long before I was at an intermediate level. And I think it really helped me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qajVmXiYoaicgaM

Thanks, mate. Your YT Channel is underrated af!

[@omer-beer-6347]

Great hints and pieces of advice! Thanks a lot!

[@AnasSaras]

Hello Justin, I would obviously go with HelloTalk of course, I agree with you. And for the 1 minute recording issue, I think that you have to be smart enough to deliver your idea in 1 minute. Do you remember Twitter in the past and the limited number of characters? If you need more, you can simply record another audio message.

[@ratulghosh7951]

How do you start a voice chat or live chat in hello talk app ? I mean how can I be host and start a meeting??

[@hannimjang]

Great advice! What’s your recommendation on using AI apps like ChatGPT or Fluenti to practice speaking?

[@rosschandler4050]

[@CreatorItachii]

You can use them on PC it happened recently in 2023 updated I guess but before that you have to open an account in mobile only then you can have access on the web version in your pc otherwise it won't happen naturally

[@GoLongAmerica]

Have you tried ConversationExchange ? I've been using it for years with good success in finding language exchange partners, and the people there are usually very serious (i.e. they are only interested in language exchanges, not finding a romantic partner). The only downside is that the website is a little outdated, but if I find a partner that I like, I usually move the conversation over to Skype.
