BBC Learning English: the best for everyday English
BBC Learning English definitely has a reputation for being a bit wacky, and their app for learning English is no different! Our favourite feature of this app is the daily mini-lesson which only takes 3 minutes to watch. Learn new vocabulary, listen to the news and practice English every day.
HelloTalk, Best for Talking
Don't have a speaking partner? There is no problem! HelloTalk is a free app that connects you with over 15 million members. This means that you will definitely find a native speaker to teach you English. The only downside is that you have to teach them your language in return: it works like a language exchange. If you're feeling too shy to make a video call, don't panic! There is also the option of text and voice recording, as well as translation and pronunciation tools.
