HeyLocals is a foreign language practice platform. We aim to help language learners become fluent communicator by online chatting with locals and talk about their interests. Our vision is “Pursue Dream Without Language Barriers”. About Us
On HeyLocals, Language learner can pick an interested topic and match a local who is a native speaker of that language for a chat. The chat will be conducted in the foreign language in order to achieve “Learning by Speaking”.
Learning by Speaking is one of the highly recommended methods in language learning. We strongly believe one of the goals of language learning is able to express yourself fluently. By talking with locals and practicing by speaking, language learning can become more efficient and effective.
Each chat takes 18 minutes.
Researchers found that attention span of modern people is only 15-20 minutes. 18 minutes can increases the effectiveness of a foreign language chat. Besides, 18 minutes is flexible for our learners to manage their time unlike traditional 1-hour language courses.
