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 have a friend who I met on HelloTalk in October 2016. It's not July 2017n and we're best friends lol. I have her on Facebook now and we talk all the time!
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.
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 )))
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 :)
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?
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.

I can help you with turkish (: my hellotalk name is ilaydayaren
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.
Olly Richards this is a very informative video for me. Thanks for that ! I had this app in my phone for a while now but have not used it fully because I do not know how to properly use it. But I will give it another go to see if I will make the most of it this time around.
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.
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.
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!
I’m still not sure how should i start a convo I’m trying to learn french as well as proving my english i downloaded this app yesterday and there are no messages yet
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?
I am willing to practice what I've learned from my past school years, so I just wanted to speak fluently , but if not bothering you may be the one who I will have the conversation with not for anything but for your accent ,which I really want to talk with fluently , I am egyptian.
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.
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)
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.
the free version of the app only allows you to learn one language at a time. You have to buy the premium version of the app in order to learn more than one language
i wanna try this app but i can't seem to setup the password correctly , it keeps giving me 6+alphas :/ what is that supposed to mean ? any one can help ?
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 :)
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?
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!
I really like this video,it is helpful I really want to improve my english Anyone here who is interested to be my online talk partener ,in different domain,like business,bankers language,and normal english we use in our daiy life.
Abwil H. So, is it alright for me, an 13-14 year old, to have an account on it? I want to learn and talk in Norwegian or Korean but I'm worried if I could actually help people with English in exchange.
This is actually a privilege that only English speakers have. I want to learn English, but I have come to realize that English speakers have dozenes of people who speake my native language and want to talk to English speakers, so I am probably not gonna add anything that prompts them to talk to me 😅
Basha Most women get a lot of messages all the time (some from perverts) but I realized you're right, there are so many Spanish native speakers replying post from English native speakers
D 04 yeh I don't speak Spanish, but it seems like a problem that non-English speakers always face across all non-paid platforms. Tbh, women don't get spacial treatment if they refuse to engage in flirting lol
Basha Yeah but I mean women have more chances of making useful conversations because of the bunch of messages they get. I've been thinking about paying the VIP membership but I'm not sure, have you ever tried that?
Hello. Your presentation is just excellent. I’m new to this app today. You demonstrate the features very well. The free phone call feature was one that I did not even know about. But I still have a question: I’m a native American English speaker with a very good level of French speaking ability. 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. Hope your Japanese is progressing well! -Michael
You have a queue if you are native English speaker. I have joined since a while completed my intro in 3 languages and nobody ever pinged me. It gets worse if you aren't the initiative head first kind of person. all you see there is either already harrased women or very specific stuff. I must getting really old...
I don't like how you have to pay to practice more than one language, defeats the purpose of learning really. I'm learning Korean and German as a Native English speaker and I wish there was a better way to practice without paying.
Can't work out if he's Aussie or British as his accent flips back and forth. Maybe because he's spent so long away from his native country it's impacted his English...

Cheers Olly - I have just downloaded the app - I will wait to see if I get any requests before diving in - Joe,
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
I've got this app but I don't know how about I can speak with other people haha xd it's just "hi" "what's up" and that's end of conversation :p
+Katina how about you like up how to have an interesting conversation on google
+Blockkingdom on google? I think I dont know how. Maybe on this app? :)
+Kasia I have the same problem. Usually it's hello, how are you.and there are not a lot of natives who want to speak English for exchange to Russian

Omg I can't believe I found this channel I've read his books but I didn't know he had a RUclips channel
Olly, what's the difference between using a Language App and joining a Language community? Which serves more convenient and beneficial?
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.
How do you mean by 'less willing to keep in contact' ? Do you mean meeting up in person or calling ?
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.
ah I see :)
I saw "Esperanto" in this video. Woo hoo!!!
Is there a website version of Hello Talk, or do you have to use the app?
Love your channel :P funny how you sounded a bit like shop TV: "But wait, there is more..." Hehe
Thanks . How do you correct ? How do you create a post
