The Best Alternatives to HelloTalk
Are you looking to learn languages using apps? If you’re someone who has used HelloTalk, but you’re not the biggest fan. So, the next best thing is to find an alternative.
Language Learning Tip
Don’t just read the language—use it. Start writing short journal entries or social media posts in your target language, even if it’s just a few lines a day. Focus on expressing what actually happened in your life.
Why it matters:
You reinforce vocabulary and grammar in a personal, meaningful context.
Writing helps you identify gaps in your knowledge and motivates you to fill them.
You build confidence by using the language actively, not just passively consuming it.
Did You Know?
The Yuchi language, spoken by a small Indigenous group in Oklahoma, is considered a linguistic isolate, meaning it’s unrelated to any other known language in the world.
With fewer than 5 fluent speakers remaining, Yuchi encodes unique cultural knowledge, including ceremonial practices and oral history passed down for generations. If the language disappears, so does an irreplaceable perspective on identity, land, and community that no other language can capture.
