Not sure where I’m supposed to post this since HelloTalk

doesn’t use hashtags. Going to try posting here first, though.

I signed up on HelloTalk in the summer of 2015. Back then, this application wasn’t very big. Unfortunately, many of the features we get to enjoy now were not available at the time and the app was a little difficult for me to figure out at first. That being said, I was having a lot of fun nonetheless. I had some pretty decent chats with folks from the UK and America and the concept really appealed to me. I have to be honest, however. Shortly after, I lost interest and went on a really long hiatus.

Two years later, I decided to give HelloTalk another shot. I noticed that it had been through some major changes and was surprised to see just how many people were using it. I was delighted to discover the Moments section and instantly made some new friends. I was completely sold and my interest was rekindled.

    I once again got to connect with many wonderful people that have not only taught me English but also given me solid advice and shared their life experiences with me. I found out there were so many reasons to learn a foreign language. One guy liked to post useful English tips to his Moments and really enjoyed teaching his culture to Russians. Another person is learning Russian because they want to connect with their Russian heritage. I’ve also met a few people who already spoke like pros but still wanted to improve. The list goes on and on, but the point is, I am beyond grateful to have met those people and taught them all some Russian in return. What I find absolutely amazing is that I am still in touch with a lot of them. Sadly, some of them chose to leave the app because of other life priorities. But I’m glad that HelloTalk was the app that brought us all together.

    I have learned so much and evolved both as a language learner and human being. There is something to be said for the way HelloTalk makes us more aware of other languages and cultures!

    @Marat couldn't agree more. I was a bit like you in that I took long breaks from HelloTalk, but I came back recently to find some nice little features that make it a pretty decent app.
