Hellotalk social app
Good day ACTFL members. I'm here to tell you about a new type of application that can be downloaded on your iPhone, iPod or iPad. This is the first app of its kind in the world. When I first learned about the existence of such an app, I had to go see for myself. My iPhone is my "mobile secretary". As well as my lifeline. I carry it everywhere I go. I never leave home without it. So, you can imagine my interest with this app for my iPhone once I found out about it.
And in today's fast paced world of technology - full of demanding deadlines and agendas, it is important to have something, someway of storing all of your important meetings, contacts and documents in a way that it will always be with you. Now, you can keep ahead of the daily grind and have time to connect to a language exchange partner and hit the chat on the go.
Hellotalk features
The Hellotalk app is available at the Apple iTunes store. It will enable you to connect with a language exchange partner to chat via text, audio or even video. You can chat in one language and then switch to another. You can also share photos. The way it works is: you choose your target language.
