I met a Japanese girl on HelloTalk

Hey, so today I'd like to talk about

HelloTalk, which is this app for people

who are learning languages. So basically

you write stuff, you post stuff in the

language that you're learning, and then

native speakers of that language will

comment and correct your entry. And in my

never-ending eternal quest to meet as many

Japanese girls as I possibly can, this is

a great app. It's really good. The most

important thing to do when you're learning

a new language is to actually use it, to

actually practice it with native speakers,

and that can be difficult, especially when

you live in the middle of nowhere

countryside in England. There was no way I

could find Japanese people that lived

around my area. So thanks to the internet

and apps like HelloTalk, 7 years ago I was

able to get my first Japanese girlfriend,

and thanks to her I can speak Japanese

pretty well right now. Sometimes I'm not

sure if I wanted a Japanese girlfriend so

I could learn Japanese, or if I wanted to

learn Japanese so I could get a Japanese

girlfriend. I think the main thing that

motivated me to learn Japanese in the

first place was because I loved anime,

but then after a while that love kind of

faded away and morphed into this intense

fetish for Japanese girls. I think that

when it comes to meeting Japanese people

online, it kind of falls into 2

categories. There's the dating websites,

and then there's the pen pal language

learning websites. And when I first

started learning Japanese, I kind of went

for the dating website route because I

thought to myself, hey, I could fulfill my

desire of wanting a girlfriend and I can

learn Japanese at the same time. It's kind

of like killing 2 birds with one stone.

The problem with dating websites is you

have to pay if you want to talk to the

other members. If you just use a free

account, then you can't talk to other

members who are also on the free account,

and back then I used to pay maybe $20

every month just to be a paying member.

And if the girls aren't interested in you,

if they don't find you attractive, then

they're not going to be any— they're not

going to be interested in talking to you.

So if you're not very attractive, then

you're going to find it difficult finding

girls that actually want to talk to you.

Also, the girls on dating websites tend

not to be very attractive because let's

think about it, if they were attractive,

then they wouldn't be on a dating website,

would they? So after meeting maybe 5 or 6

girls in real life that I met on dating

websites. Pretty much all of them ended in

disappointment or disastrous

relationships. So I decided to take a

break from using dating websites and I

tried the pen pal language learning

website app approach. The good thing about

language learning websites is you can talk

to more people because you don't have to

pay a membership fee. And usually the

girls don't really care about what you

look like because they're not looking for

a boyfriend or a love interest. They're

just there to practice English. So all you

have to do is talk to them in English and

they'll be interested in talking to you.

I used to use this website called

lang-8.com, and that was a website where

you could write diaries in the language

you're learning and native speakers would

correct you. And then one day I started

talking to this Japanese woman that I met

on there, and she asked me if I used

HelloTalk, and I said no. And she said

that it was pretty good and I should give

it a try. So I decided to download the app

and create a profile. I started chatting

to that Japanese woman more and more, and

she was this 45-year-old married woman who

was living in Taiwan. She was married to

this Japanese guy and she had teenage

kids. And she started telling me all these

things like she was really bored in life.

Her marriage was loveless. She didn't even

sleep in the same room as her husband.

And she met this French guy at her Chinese

class and she went to a hotel with him.

And I was like, why are you telling me all

this? And I started to feel a bit jealous.

And I started to think to myself, maybe if

I go to Taiwan, she'll go to a hotel with

me as well. I told her that I felt

kind of jealous after hearing the story

about the French guy because I thought she

was pretty cute even though she was 45

years old. And from that point, our

conversations got really sexual and we

eventually had phone sex, which was

interesting. I've never had phone sex

before. She started making kissing sounds

over the phone and then she started

describing what she was doing, and I

didn't quite know what I was supposed to

do, so I just copied her and I started

making kissing sounds back to her and

started describing what I was doing. It

was, it was weird. It was weird, but in a

good way. It was arousing, especially

because she was married and that kind of

made it even more exciting. Anyway, what

was I talking about? Oh yeah, HelloTalk.

So she recommended me to use HelloTalk and

I downloaded it. I created a profile and

as soon as I started to use it, I noticed

how much better it is, how much better it

was than Lang-8. For example, On Lang-8,

the only way you could communicate with

other members one-on-one was using this

outdated email message system, which I

hated because I can't stand having to talk

to people over email. It's just such a

pain. You have to write the message and

you have to send it, then you have to wait

for them to reply. It just feels so

disconnected. It doesn't feel like you're

having a real conversation compared to

instant chat things like Facebook

Messenger or WhatsApp. It's just not the

same. On HelloTalk, it's really easy to

find loads of Japanese girls to chat to,

but the thing is, the majority of them

aren't there for relationships, for

dating. They're there because they want to

learn English, and most of them even write

it in their profiles that they're not

looking for a boyfriend or they don't want

pervy messages. HelloTalk are also pretty

strict about it. They make it very clear

that the app's intended purpose is for

learning languages only, and it's not a

dating app. And I've even heard stories of

people that got banned because they were

flirting with other members and talking

about sexual things. It is possible to

find girls who are also interested in

meeting up or talking about sexual things.

It's just kind of rare. And if you do want

to talk about sexual things, you have to

make sure you don't talk about them on the

app. Just try and get their Skype ID or

get them onto a different messaging app

and then talk over there. There was this

one Japanese girl I started chatting to

and we started talking about porn and we

decided to talk online. Which is a

different messaging app because we didn't

want to get banned. We started sending

nude pics to each other, then we started

sending nude videos, and then we had phone

sex a few times, and then we kind of

stopped talking. I've even had 2 girls say

that they would like to meet me, but they

both live in completely different areas of

Japan, so I kind of have to choose just

one that I want to go and see unless I

want to spend a lot of money on transport

fees. So if you're learning Japanese or

another language, then I think it's a

really good app. It makes it really easy

to talk to people from different countries

like Japan, and there's loads of really

cute girls on it. It's good. I actually

use it more than Facebook now because when

I post something on Facebook, I don't

really have any friends on Facebook, so no

one likes or comments on my stuff. Maybe 2

of my aunties do, but that's it. But if I

post it on HelloTalk, I get loads of

Japanese girls or Japanese people liking

and commenting on my stuff and Feels good.

Feels great.
