Learning tools (2/2)

(the beginning of this note can be found in the previous entry of my notebook)

It’s when you’re engaged in a conversation HelloTalk began to show its qualities. If The chat looks quite alike your regular text-message service. You have access to many useful options :
- A speaker which translates what you or your partner writes
- A «favorite » icon to review/work on a sentence later
- A « share’ « icon to send sentences to another user
- You can add « friends » here called « partner »

But what if you fear you’ll be overwhelmed with partners only willing to speak your language and not theirs ? HelloTalk thought about it too : you have access to a special chat with real « exchange sessions » with your partners. Each partner is allowed to talk only in his own language for about five hundred words and then it’s the second partner’s turn. This is really helpful if you find a partner willing to « work » with you.
This app is pretty great! I’ve always been fond of the « peer reviewed » work on Italki, but the tools Hellotalk introduced on the chat are powerful and useful for effective learning. It’s also great to be able to use it on my dear Nexus 4… Italki, I’m waiting for you to developp an even better app !

Thank you for reading this, if you know any other apps which help people work on their langage skills, let me know !

Great language skills. Great entry.
