HiNative created by Yang Yang Xi – Ask any question get an answer: Review of app

hi-native-created-yang-yang-xi-ask-any-question-get-answer-review-appFai una domanda, qualsiasi domanda…e ricevere la risposta giusta con HiNative/Ask a question, any question at all…and get the right response from HiNative

Recentemente un nuovo sito/app dell’apprendimento ha attirato la mia attenzione. Si chiama HiNative ed è la creazione di Yang Yang Xi, il CEO di Lang8. Se siete curiosi di sapere più di Italiano come me, troverete HiNative molto utile.

Recently a new language learning site/app has come to my attention. It’s called HiNative and it is the brain child of Yang Yang Xi, the CEO of Lang8. If you are curious about Italian like I am, you will find HiNative very useful.

hi-native-created-yang-yang-xi-ask-any-question-get-answer-review-app

Sono d’accordo con Rachel Varnergardner del blog “Dynamic Languages”, quando scrive: “Una delle sfide inevitabili di imparare una nuova lingua o affinare l’abilità di competenze linguistiche è non avere la “intuizione” che viene naturalmente ad un madrelingua. Tutti noi abbiamo avuto l’esperienza frustrante cercare il significato di una parola inserita in servizi di traduzione automatica o nei dizionari, solo per scoprire che i termini sono obsoleti o non usati più in conversazione quotidiana. Spesso siamo lasciati più perplessi da quando abbiamo iniziato!”

I can totally relate to Rachel Varnergardner over at Dynamic Languages, when she writes: “One of the inevitable challenges of learning a new language or honing your language fluency skills is not having the “intuition” that comes naturally to native speakers. Most of us have had the frustrating experience of trying to find the meanings of words by plugging text into machine-translation services or searching in dictionaries, only to find terms that are either outdated or not used in casual conversation. We are often left with more questions than when we started!” 

hi-native-created-yang-yang-xi-ask-any-question-get-answer-review-appAllora, adesso per aiutarci ad eliminare alcuni dei misteri delle culture e dei traduzioni falsi che Google spesso sputa fuori, c’è HiNative, una potente app che vi metterà in contatto diretto con i madrelingua per trovare informazione di un paese e il suo linguaggio. Con HiNative, invece di cercare le risposte giuste nei forum di lingua, senza sapere se e quando si potrà mai ricevere una risposta, è possibile ottenere risposte amichevoli e veloci da madrelingua direttamente sul vostro tablet o smartphone schiacciando di un pulsante.

So now to help us dispel some of the mysteries of culture and the false translations that google translator often spits out, there is now HiNative, a powerful app that will put you in touch directly with native speakers to find out information about a country and its language. With HiNative, instead of having to search for answers on language forums, not knowing if or when you will ever receive a response, you can get fast, friendly responses and feedback from native speakers right on your tablet or Smartphone with a press of a button.

hi-native-created-yang-yang-xi-ask-any-question-get-answer-review-appSecondo Yang Yang le vostre domande non dovrebbe essere solo di linguaggio, possono essere anche su costumi, cultura e tradizioni locali. Potete fare tutte le domande che volete, come esempio- ’Qual è l’attuale cosa più popolare nel tuo paese?’ Inoltre, se siete in un ristorante e non riuscite a capire qualcosa sul menu, è possibile scattare una foto, caricarla sul sito e chiedere a un madrelingua che cos’è. In futuro, faremo anche la possibilità di caricare audio o video e un madrelingua sarà in grado di rispondere se la pronuncia va bene. Ci sono molti usi”.

According to Yang Yang your questions don’t just have to be about language, they can be about customs, culture and local traditions. You can ask any questions such as: ‘What is the current most popular thing in the country?’ Furthermore, if you are at a restaurant and you don’t understand what the menu says, you can take a photo, upload it, and ask native speakers what it is. In the future, we will make it an option to upload sound or video and a native speaker will be able to answer whether or not your pronunciation is right. There are a lot of uses”.

Negli ultimi giorni ho giocato con HiNative, facendo domande e rispondendo ad alcune. Penso che l’app meriti attenzione e che funzioni come è pubblicato: È molto facile da usare e le risposte alle domande vengono in un modo molto tempestivo. Sicuramente questa è un’app che dovreste aggiungere ai vostri trucchi dell’apprendimento!

The last couple of days I’ve been playing around with Hi Native, asking questions and answering a few too. I’m finding the app to be just as advertised, very easy to use and questions are answered in a very timely manner. This is definitely and app that you should add to your bag of language learning tricks!
