#language apps
While language learning apps and websites such as are plentiful online, places to practice are less easy to find! Here’s a few you can try out, none of which are limited to just one or two languages:
Chat
HelloTalk (iOS/Android): an app with 100+ languages that lets you chat with native speakers of your target language from around the world with voice + text. It’s the one most geared towards just conversation!
WeSpeke(iOS/Android): an app and website with probably the largest variety of languages at 130, with text, audio, and video chat.
Conversation Exchange: this one’s a little different, as it not only allows you to get a pen pal and has text, video, and voice, but it also lets you meet up with native speakers in your area to practice!
Speaky(iOS/Android):a web and mobile app which is pretty much social media for language learners! It has 110+ languages and you can make video/audio calls and message from your browser.
HiNative (iOS/Android): not exactly for chatting with people, but instead you can ask native speakers about their culture/language in your target language!
Read
Duolingo Immersion: lets you translate articles from your target language into your native language, or vice versa.
Readlang: read articles, books, and other texts online, with vocab support, and it will create vocab lists and flashcards based on the words you needed help with.

POLYGLOT WEEKLY’S REBLOG OF THE WEEK
I feel bad about not following all of my lovely followers back. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to get sucked into social media and not come up for air if my Dashboard is too full. So as a compromise, I decided to add this feature. Once a week, I’ll browse my followers’ blogs to find something pertinent to the blog and reblog it to help spread the love and information.
This is such a tidy collection of important language learning websites, particularly the language exchange ones. I’m sure everyone can find something of value on here. Well done!
