    It's a nice tool if you already know how to learn a language or you've got a goal to fulfil. Of course it's not enough on its own, but it makes the first few months on a language much easier and faster than without.

    I've used it most successfully for Indonesian because I had both things: I did 30 minutes of Duolingo every single day for four months and it got me to the point that I could practice with people on hellotalk. Two months later I went to Indonesia to hitchhike and I could communicate surprisingly well.

        Language exchange chat app with built in translation/transliteration tools. Also a facebook-esque blogging aspect where you can ask for translations or whatever. I use it for Chinese and there is no shortage of people wanting a bilingual chat. Probably similar with other languages.

        Unlimited translations and stuff are locked behind a paywall, but it's a useful app if you have a groundwork in the language already and want to practice.
