Expand Your Language By Going On A Virtual Journey
“Your perspective is always limited by how much you know. Expand your knowledge and you will transform your mind.” That’s what Dr Bruce H. Lipton said about knowledge. You can explore your knowledge and language by going on a journey. Moreover, have you ever tried to travel around the world using one application? You don’t need to go overseas to learn about new things. Wouldn’t it feel great?
By using chat application, you can learn speaking and writing from natives. In this kind of app, you can also learn other languages. Such as Japanese, Korean, Thai, Turkish, and so on. Besides that, you can also learn about culture with foreigners from abroad. Obviously, meeting someone who has different backgrounds will be a fun topic for you to talk about. Then, what English learning applications can help you?
The Applications
In Google Play Store, there are about 40 chat applications that can make it easier for you to make friends with strangers. However, don’t be confused. Because this time, we will tell you 4 applications that can help you to learn English. So, tighten your seatbelt and enjoy your adventure!
Ablo
Ablo is a chat application that can be accessed via Android, laptop, or iPhone. The features are ranging from chatting, stories, voice calls, also video calls.
In this application, you don’t need to be afraid of pranksters who try to approach you. Because Ablo always prioritizes your comfort in this application. Additionally, they have prepared some topics which you can talk about. Therefore, you will not be bored with the conversation. Moreover, you can also send messages to each other even if you use different languages because they have prepared a translation feature.
Skout
This application will introduce you to the tens of thousands of people who have joined there. Not only in one country, but there are also many countries that you can visit. From America to Europe to Asia, there are so many countries with different people that you can befriend. Because of that, you might want to try this app immediately.
In this application, you can set the age and distance of the friends you want to reach. As well as that, you can do a live stream and gain some money too. Even so, to access all of its features, you need to use a VPN (a virtual private network). But if you already have a VPN, then you can access this application completely.
Apart from being a social media, Twitter is also a place to make foreign friends more effectively and easily. Because of that reason, Twitter has skyrocketed along with Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook.
However, unlike other chat applications, on Twitter, you cannot do voice calls or video calls, apart from chatting and mentioning people. The key to use Twitter is searching and surfing for new people and information. As a result, you might find new people who are resourceful in so many things who can enrich your knowledge.
Snapchat
The last application, we will introduce you to Snapchat! This application is often known as a good photo and bitmoji application. Previously, this application became known abroad in 2015, and its reputation is still ongoing. As a result, this application is still famous up to this day as well.
The features it provides are also interesting. Since it is different from the others, this application offers sharing moments named Snap. It is similar to reply to stories between fellow stories that are captured on the camera. Snapchat also offers you a feature to see people’s snaps, from around the worlds. In addition, we can also make friends and greet them even though we are from different countries. Because of that, it is very likely that you’ll get to see latest events and stories from around the world too.
Tips to Remember Things Quickly
Last but not least, you need some tips to enlighten your habit. Making friends through chat applications is one way to upgrade your daily habits and improve your English language skills. Also, ‘don’t be afraid’ is the main point to do this habit. Because, when you greet foreigners, they don’t really care about your mistakes in writing or speaking English. Few of them also learn English by using those applications. So, you need to boost your confidence.
But, you need to remember! There will be a chance that some negative content will pass through your chat room (although you had filtered the contents). Hence, it’s a good idea to turn on privacy and safety features. Such as ‘not displaying any media information that may contain sensitive content‘. Stay safe online!
