Features

Audio Uploads - Want to check your pronunciation? Curious about a certain area’s accent? Need some handy phrases for your upcoming trip abroad? Just record your questions and ask. Let the world hear you!

Question Formats - Asking questions made simple. All you need to know are the words, phrases, or sentences that you need help with, and HiNative question formats will do the rest. We automatically translate your questions into other users’ native languages. Learn how to speak a language without knowing how to speak it in the first place!

Pictures - Not sure how to write something? No problem! Sometimes a picture is better than words. Upload images of signs, menus, labels, and even that rad Chinese character you’re considering getting a tattoo of. Just snap a picture and ask away!

Ask About Countries & Cultures - Traveling soon? Moving abroad? Ask natives the important questions that only locals can answer. Get information about local customs, famous landmarks, the cheapest (but tastiest) restaurants, or even opinions on current events. You can also ask questions which are not on a dictionary or translator!

Over 110 Languages to Learn - You can ask about English (US), Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Spain), French (France), Simplified Chinese (China), Russian, Arabic, Spanish (Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian, Turkish, Vietnamese, English (UK), Spanish (Columbia), Polish, Norwegian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Klingon, and many more!

Unlike a dictionary, web search, or translation software, HiNative provides you with customized example sentences, responses to your follow-up questions, and tips to improve your pronunciation. Ask about vocabulary, how to write and speak, pronunciation, grammar, and get great tips from native speakers. You can even practice your listening comprehension!

HiNative brings the entire world to your fingertips, wherever you are. It’s never been this easy to connect, help, and learn. Try HiNative today and change the way you study languages for the better.

I love this app!! People help me so much with my Korean and Latin, and they correct me if I make mistakes! I definitely recommend this app as it has really helped me progress. Also, everyone is really nice, they dont make fun of the mistake you made, and they are super grateful when I help others!! I have helped lots of people with their English, lots of people who speak Japanese or French or whatever, learn so much on this app! 10/10 definitely!!👏🏻

Clients now must subscribe or app is unusable. EDIT: Thanks for replying. I do not agree with forcing users to subscribe, this is sad to see the app I used for many years now get destroyed. developer could've used ads to generate income but this is an atrocious decision. I thought It is just a bug before your reply. wow. --- EDIT: Yes I managed to log in with my old account, but I notice how the app is now so unpopulated compared to before with many unanswered questions. Please reconsider

My account is years old, and suddenly there are aggressive pop ups insisting on a free week trial with no way to close the screen. When you do click continue, it asks for your card info. I literally cannot even access the app at all because of this pop up. This app used to be 5 star, but greed has destroyed even basic functionality it seems. Besides that, basic useful features that used to be free are now pay walled, such as something as simple as searching through your own questions.
