This means that you don’t have to be an English speaker to get the most out of the resource - you can study Mandarin via German, Swahili, Albanian, or any other available language. It’s also possible to use uTalk in any combination of its 140+ languages. With over 60 topics like “transport,” “technology,” and “restaurant,” the contexts you’re interested in are probably available. The app would be most useful for someone planning on visiting a new country who wants to prepare some basic phrases to get around with. For grammar rules, nuances, or really any building blocks to make your own sentences, you’ll have to look elsewhere. It’s for people who want to learn basic phrases in another language and not much more. UTalk doesn’t beat around the bush when they talk about the scope of their product. Who’s it for?įrom the uTalk website, “for anyone who wants to learn key words and phrases in another language.” That’s a pretty accurate summary.
The layout of the app is very easy to understand, and within half an hour of using it, I had encountered most or all of the features it offers. As it stands now, the price is very reasonable for what’s on offer. This transition also saw the addition of material and the lowering of the price. In the past, uTalk sold CD-ROMs (remember those?) with language-learning content, but they’ve since transitioned to offering their product in an app as well as a browser version. These language items are accompanied by images and high-quality audio. It’s important to note that uTalk makes no attempt at providing grammar instruction, instead focusing its energy on teaching words and phrases. It’s designed for people that want to learn key words and phrases in another language. UTalk is an inexpensive language learning app with an impressive language library and lots of material. A quick search on the internet showed third-party reviews saying everything from “It’s just ok” to “Become fluent in another language with uTalk.” My experience was something much closer to the former. This was my first encounter with uTalk, so I didn’t know what to expect before trying it out.
