Apps for language exchange

Learning languages is essential nowadays, as we live in a globalized world where we all need to connect with each other. However, many people don't have the time or desire to attend a language academy or official language schools. Therefore, in today's new post, we're going to bring you the solution for all those who want to learn languages without leaving home, as we're going to show you three applications that can be used for language exchange.

Hello Talk

The first app we have is HelloTalk, available for both Android and iOS, and used in more than 160 countries, allowing us to communicate in over one hundred languages. Its main feature is that you can send a message in your language by voice or by typing, and it will automatically be translated into the language you want it to be delivered in. You can also click on words you don't know how to pronounce or understand, thus improving your knowledge of that language.

Another aspect to highlight about this application is that videos and images can be sent, but first, thanks to software, they go through a filter to detect pornographic and sexual content, thus preventing them from being disseminated.

Tandem

This app, managed by an international team of 16 people, is available for both Android and iOS devices and offers more than 150 languages, including 11 sign languages. It features a chat function with built-in spell checkers and translators, making language learning much easier and more convenient. iOS users can also access various games to make language learning more enjoyable. Finally, for just €15 per hour, you can take professional lessons directly from your mobile device.

Lingvu

Finally, we're going to tell you about an app only available for Android devices, but unlike the previous ones, it focuses on face-to-face interaction. It tries to find people nearby who also speak the language you want to learn, so you can meet up. While the idea is good, it hasn't yet achieved widespread adoption, as it was created in September 2016.

As you can see, there are countless possibilities for learning different languages in an easy, convenient, and fast way, where in addition to learning, you will also meet people and help others learn your language.
