Errors in multiple languages

The audio has errors for multiple languages. In Arabic the word for fish is clearly written as “samak”, but the app pronounced it as “sam”.

I found similar issues in Spanish, German, and Mandarin. The audio is from a machine translation source so it doesn’t sound very natural in many spots as well.

If trusting the accuracy of what you’re learning is a big point for you, especially given the $30 to $150 price range, maybe check out something else.

If you’re an Anki user and you are fine with machine pronunciations, then this provides variety beyond just flipping cards.

Confused

I didn’t know how to get answers other than to leave a review. So I downloaded the hello Talk app first and accidentally purchased the hello words plus subscription for 1 year; which I know you can’t refund or switch them so I’ve been trying to figure out how to use the subscription that I paid for. But when I downloaded hello words, it prompts me to pay for the subscription I already paid for. So basically I paid for something I’m not even able to use. So if you can fix this issue and tell me how to use what I paid for, I can and will definitely leave a real review about the app, if you can tell me how I can use it.

doesn't work

i use hellotalk's version of hellowords daily and i love it! so i tried getting the actual app. it keep bugging and kicking me off mid lesson even if i still have time left? i can't get through three words without having to reload. also even as i'm getting it right it plays the incorrect sound, so i look stupid. 2 stars though because the hellotalk version is amazing and so so helpful

FAQ

What is HelloWords?

HelloWords is an educational app designed for fun and efficient language learning. It utilizes a visual, game-based approach with a spaced repetition system to help users master vocabulary quickly. The app focuses on making the learning process engaging and accessible, even with short daily sessions.

What languages can I learn with HelloWords?

HelloWords offers a wide selection of 29 languages for free. This includes major languages like English (American and British), Spanish (European and Latin American), Japanese, Korean, French, German, and Italian, among many others.

How does the learning method work?

The app employs a game-based vocabulary learning approach combined with a Spaced Repetition System (SRS). SRS is based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, meaning words are shown at calculated intervals to maximize memorization efficiency. This method aims to make learning feel more like playing a game and less like a chore.

Is HelloWords free to use?

The app is free to download and offers access to 29 languages and its core learning features. However, it does contain in-app purchases and advertisements, which can enhance the user experience or provide additional content.

How much time do I need to spend learning?

HelloWords is designed for fragmented learning, requiring only 3 minutes a day. This short, focused approach makes it easy to fit language learning into a busy schedule without feeling overwhelmed. Despite the short duration, the app's methods are designed for significant knowledge accumulation.
