A few helpful tips...

Having been using the HelloTalk app for

a few years now, I have seen many new members come and then leave after a few weeks, presumably frustrated.
The following are my personal recommendations on how to get more out of this app.

PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE JUST MY SUGGESTIONS, OTHERS MAY DISAGREE!

Assuming you are a non-English speaker attempting to improve your English, you should realize that there are many more non-English speakers trying to learn English than vice versa.
If you wish to increase your chances of finding someone to help you, I suggest the following:

1️⃣Write your Chinese name in English or find an English name. This will make it easier for English speakers to remember who you are.

2️⃣Upload a pleasant picture of yourself looking friendly. (Personally I find the cat/bunny/dog face pics many younger people upload very silly, but that's just my opinion).

3️⃣Complete your self introduction (much better in English or with a translation). Include something interesting about yourself, that will encourage people to take an interest in you.

4️⃣Upload some interesting pics as moments showing people something about your life, personality or interests.
