What's up guys a few people been asking me about certain apps that they can use for language

learning, and so I decided I was just gonna make a video about the best apps and the best

things you can do on your phone or on your tablets that I are gonna help you learn your

So, honestly, the first thing that I can recommend to you is that your whole phone or your whole

You have to go to your settings and change the language to whatever language you're learning.

See, I'm learning French so I have my whole tablet set French.

And people are scared of doing that because then I think I'll never be able to understand

what's going on and I need my phone, but honestly, you're so familiar with your phone already

that I find 90% of the time when something comes up in French I can figure out what's

going on just be just based off context, and based off what I already know was going on

my phone so I just want to show you a few of the apps after you set your whole phone

So, the first one I want to point out is called memrize and this is a great app.

You can choose different flash card decks.

These are all my different decks that I have.

I have some in Esperanto some in French, one for Spanish.

This is just a premade one and basically you just click on whatever level and it'll test

Here it's giving me an audio test and I gotta click on whatever it was the right one.

Then also give you text tests and I think this is something like se saouler.

Now, this is kind of an advanced French flash card deck but you can also do more basic ones.

So for example, I'm just gonna search for... where's French in here?

I'm doing French four or five, or something like that.

You can go to French one and start learning that.

It' gonna give you much more basic words.

It's gonna start giving you basic words like this salute, hi, quoi de neuf, what's up,let's

Memrise is great application for learning vocabulary words like that.

The other one I want to point out, the really common, one is Duolingo.

And I have mixed feelings about Duolingo because I feel like there's much better ways of learning

grammar but as far as just getting the basics of the language it's really great.

So this is basically just has another type of quiz thing for you and so I'm actually

learning French for Spanish speakers right now so la mujer which is the woman and I'm

gonna click on la femme this is great it's actually really fun and it's very interactive

because you can there is a lot of different ways that you can interact with other people

you can join other clubs with other people you can make your own profile and then you

can see all your friends to see how much your friends have been learning

this week so these guys are slacking because they have zero experience and these guys been

doing pretty good you can set goals for yourself do you just want to learn a little bit every

day do you want to go super intense and do a lot of tests everyday and I'm gonna keep

I want to point out is HelloTalk and this is really great I like this a lot better than

Duolingo because this is going to actually help you get experience talking to native

speakers so this is an app where you can go on here and you can just look for other people

that are on this app that speak the language you're trying to learn and they're trying

to learn your language so you know there's a bunch people here from France this guy is

from... he lives in the United States but he is learning French.

Or he speaks French and he is learning English, i guess.

And then you just make friends with some of these people and then you can talk to them.

And the reason that I love hello talk so much is it a lot of different cool things that

you can do so you can see here I wrote something in French and down here she corrected my French

because apparently I had made some mistakes so there's a little button on here like let's

see for example okay so she wrote this in English I can correct what she said, Let's

I have a bad connection Internet here... okay so she made this mistake here you have to

say I have a bad internet connection and then I can correct her mistakes and and It'll show

so let's say I didn't understand what she was saying here.

I can click on this, and I can get a translation of it.

So do you like swings swinging songs? you know translations aren't always perfect but

basically what she's saying here is like do you like swing music so hello talk is just

a great app for getting to know native speakers and for learning how they actually talk.

The other one that I want to show you his Instagram which you might not think of as

being a language learning thing but it really can be so I guess I gotta turn my iPad like

this I'm following a bunch of French people on here so this is some kind of celebrity

from France and she you know she just makes posts in French and then every day you can

see it and read her posts in French apparently her dogs are upset about the French elections

that they just had then you just follow her and you know you get practice reading stuff

in French every day And it's stuff that might be funny or interesting

to you and you can follow as many people as you want I'm pretty sure this guy is French

so he posted stuff in French and then you just get a chance to read french stuff everyday

and you can do this also with Twitter with Facebook with whatever... probably snap chat

I'm not on Snapchat but you can probably do it on there or whatever other social media

you're on so Reddit is another great example I'm learning French so all I'm gonna do...

all you have to do when you're learning a language is just gonna type in R, and then

a little backslash sign and then whatever language you're learning and then French is

a pretty popular language there's a lot of them but I'm gonna go to this one with a whole

bunch of people and you can see this 27 people from this Reddit online right now and then

you can just go on and you can ask different questions and stuff.

He's asking what this phrase means and people just have different questions where do you

start when you're learning French people post videos and the language see here this guy

is telling you how to use your... how to improve your French by playing this video game and

this is great because if you specific questions about the language that you're just not you're

confused about and maybe you're on the Duolingo course and something doesn't make sense to

you can come in here and post your question 27 people online right now so there's probably

it's a good chance that someone's gonna answer your question right away and if you're learning

a more rare language like if you're learning Wolof or Urdu or some like that it might not
