I totally thought you had like thousands of subscribers!!!! You definitely deserve more!! Your videos have been the one thing motivating me to get better in French during winter break. Just did my first Lingoda trial lesson today 🥰🥰 I also started hellotalk.... you’re right about the guys 😂😂. But anyways love your vids!
Thank you for your lovely comment!! 🥰 I’m so happy to have helped motivate you (I’m no stranger to the struggles of finding motivation for the French language 😂). Exciting about lingoda & trying hellotalk - Let me know how it goes. Goodluck! 🇫🇷😉
I got your point, but dont like language exchange and paid conversation because there was a time that i practiced my speak with non-natives, but after a while it get bored and i realised that is better to make real friends and bild a friendship and talk not just because I need to practise but because we are friend and friends like to talk to each other and that's it. Thank's from Brasil😀
I looked at the exchange apps but could see as a guy how I'd be easily misinterpreted just making contact. So I stick to Italki, where you pay your money, respect the boundaries, and can make good friends for French conversation pretty much regardless of gender or age and free of any connotations. Alliance Française is fortuitously strong in my town (in NZ) which is great for the social life but patchy for consistent French conversation. I'm trying to get myself off the vast plateau that is B1, so Italki and RUclips are my best friends. Thanks for the video, I have yet to come across anyone locally who learns a lot of French on-line so appreciate the chance to discuss it. Bonne continuation en France.
Thank you for your comment! It sounds like you’re really motivation and I’m sure you’ll get out of B1 in no time. I’ve been listening to a lot of inner french’s podcasts through Spotify to get my listening in. There are definitely some great channels out there for learning French. Bonne chance! 🥳
Woah, that was really interesting. I just did my first iTalki lesson last night & my instructor quickly sussed out what I needed & I feel a lot more prepared to enter the Lingoda Sprint
The language exchange apps I used very rarely brought about a productive language exchange arrangement so I much prefer ITALKI , but of course it’s all a subjective interpretation of how much your time / money is worth .
I've been using a lot of language apps for years. Never uploaded my face as dp, just some random cat or interesting art. Yes, there are some weirdos (it's the internet, hello?!) but all in all, I've had some serious language partners that now are my friends. Not once they asked me a photo of my face, just keep the conversation interesting and ditch the usual hi's and hello's.
Thank you very much for this video. I’m an American exploring studying Dutch and I don’t know if I should do a language exchange or find an online tutor. This helped me very much. Merci beaucoup
Language exchange is easier for women than men. It's really hard to find a steady partner. I've been looking for 3 years and results are too bad. I prefer to pay someone an hour than beg to someone.
Paid is much better. Cuz it filters out all the drama and immaturity. People are forced to show their face on camera. I did meet my best friend on HelloTalk for free. Just took forever.
On the flip side, women are often harassed. The fact 95% of the people contacting them are guys can make girls feel scared. MAny girls have told me of the abuse they've received on HelloTalk
Believe it or not, as a western guy, many south East Asian girls message me in the way you described on the app :/ It's so weird that people think it's somehow a dating thing...
First let me say that I was so glad to find this video. I am trying to learn Spanish and I have a neighbor that I spend time with who speaks Spanish fluently. She is a big help to me, but I am unsure where to start to help her more with her English. That being said I was hoping to get a response to this message in the way of a specific app to use. My friend is struggling to learn English and is very eager to learn. Also, if you could suggest any tv show that is helpful for her to watch to help with her English. Thank you so much for putting out such valuable information. Great job!!
Hey there :) I think the best thing to help is just havening regular english conversation with here - this helped me a lot in french! As for tv show suggestions luckily theres a whole lot of options for english!! Something slow pace vs action movie for example. I'd even suggest just checking out youtube channels there's some great helpful and free content out there ;)
@@BonnieVoyage Thank you Bonnie for taking the time out of your day, and for responding so quickly. **Out of any question I have ever submitted- this is my first response EVER !! As the British say, "Good on you 😊"!! When Mari and me find the perfect starting pace program I'll make sure to shoot you another comment and another " 👍 like" of course. Have a safe & Blessed weekend🌼🌈 Muchos gracias.
As a male native English speaker on HelloTalk, I can confirm that it's not just women who attract the opposite sex in messages. I've gotten hundreds of language exchange requests, and 90% are from women (and a handful of gay dudes). I have talked about this with both male and female acquaintances on the app, and this seems to be the norm. I don't really know why it's this way, to be honest. But I have had some good language exchanges there despite the weirdness of this.
I'm a guy and I simply gave up the hello talk app, nobody cares about learning there anymore! They are just trying to dating girls... I've tryed to invite much people as I could to have conversations with me and nobody even answered I'm really in need to improve my conversations skills in english because I'm not confident about my spoken english and this get worse when I try to speak during an interview for example... I'm looking for another way to exchange language, I speak Portuguese and I unfortunately don't have money to pay for these paid apps like i-talk T.T
Hello, I am just wondering about ITaki the tutors can you pay through your Apple account? I am trying too avoid using credit cards online for as long as possible for obvious reasons. Please let me know?
Microsoft should have their own social media platform so that they would investigate further because AI won’t kick you off of it if you say inappropriate things in fact, I’m going to a concert just to give the singer a piece of paper that says I want Microsoft to make this
Just a tiny suggestion (and it might be my attention deficit disorder) but the music in the background of this video sounds like it's just repeating, and it is very distracting from your great information your audience is trying to listen to. Still, 2 thumbs up to the topic of your video.
Nice and enlightening video! But the lingoda link doesn't work . Though is it applicable to the Supersprint? if i take courage maybe i'll do, is "only" a 90 days straight rally, in order to receive a full refund. I don't really suck on writing but i usually get stuck in one-on-one conversations whenever i go overseas. I wouldn't mind paying 10 dollar a lesson though... that could be another good option to improve my english😂
Yes it does :) there’s also a sprint if you feel a class each day is too much. Speaking is one of the hardest parts of learning a language I think haha
I,m very happy to see your reply. Actually I'm looking for a language exchange partner for 10 minutes . ..and thinking about you. This is my first kind of such request
@@BonnieVoyage ruclips.net/video/Zohd2i5gWxY/видео.html this is a video I want all over RUclips and it’s a video about people being brain scan Through functional MRIs for lie detection
Well, it's easy when you're an attractive woman. Many people want to talk to you. While most of us don't have that opportunity. Our language exchange experience isn't the same. Please take into account next time.
I can only speak about my own experience and people I know but I’m not doubting there’s other, can’t take into account what I don’t know! Also, it’s not easy when you get spammed by messages from guys using it as a dating app haha and that’s why I don’t use italki anymore, so I wouldn’t say it’s easier. Every girl I’ve talked to has this experience too but as with life everyone will have a different experience.
This was one of my first ever videos so I didn’t know how to edit properly - if you see my newer videos you can see I have improved. For now you’ll just have to turn up the volume haha
If someone is interested by a language exchange, he/she can answer under this comment, I'm a French student who want to speak to a native English speaker
Most of people at hellotalk dont even know what are they doing. Some of them post moments in their native language as if it is instagram.
That's so true.. lol

Couldn’t agree more! It’s hard to gage the value when it’s a lot of repeat convo like hello how are you etc haha.

@@johanneswohler5476 nice. It is rare to find language exchange partner who productive in learning language
The problem with Tandem is that sometimes there are no serious people :-(
