| 2024-09-19 |  | | Very good method for learning word |
| 2023-10-26 |  | | Immediately wants you to pay (if you don't, you get three free minutes a day, SO GENEROUS), and is absolutely manic and bananas right off. You have to know the language you want to learn going in! This is for expanding vocabulary NOT learning from scratch. |
| 2023-06-25 |  | | The app failed to load, after several attempts I still couldn't get past the first two questions before it crashed. I love hellotalk but hellowords simply did not work |
| 2023-06-07 |  | | Hello Talk has introduce me to use this resource to learn Korean vocabulary and phrases. It's a great method of learning to advance your skills. |
| 2022-09-17 |  | | Immediately throws you into difficult kanji + very limited time to study before you need to continue (as you only get three minutes free per day). Not recommended for beginners |
| 2022-08-30 |  | | Very happy 😊 This is good app for learning other languages It is very helpful to others If someone wants to learn any other languages so he/she can learn on it. |
| 2022-08-18 |  | | It's alright.. the ads for the premium version are always in your face while using the app. The way it works is the EXACT same as the Drops app. There's literally nothing different except that this is more boring. |
| 2022-08-08 |  | | I find this app much better than duo lingo, plus hellotalk gives you the opportunity to make pen pals in your chosen language, one of which I speak to regularly nearly a year later |
| 2022-06-10 |  | | It's such an honor being the first to write a f*eakin' review. The app is totally amazing and a brilliant way to pass time and expel boredom..... Speaking about the free mode though 🤭 |
| 2022-06-07 |  | | I am not giving it five stars because sometimes there are technical issues like audio not playing or visuals not displaying. I think aside from technical problems it is a good learning tool! |
