TL;DR: Get lifetime access to the uTalk language learning app and learn from native speakers for $69.97 (reg. $300), its best price yet through July 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Most language apps can handle Spanish, Italian, or French. But things can get trickier if you want to learn Urdu, Swahili, Icelandic, or one of the many other languages that rarely make the app-store shortlist. uTalk Language Learning includes more than 150 languages in one lifetime subscription, currently at its best price yet: $69.97 (reg. $300).
The vast library is an incredible feature, as each language library includes more than 2,500 words and phrases across 60-plus topics, with audio recorded by native speakers instead of computer-generated voices. Independently verified translations should also help prevent you from confidently memorizing something that means absolutely nothing.
With uTalk, there are no rigid lesson plans demanding your loyalty or time. You can choose what to study, learn at your own pace, and use speaking games to practice and measure your progress. Your account also works across devices, so switching from your phone to your tablet won't cause you to lose your place.
The emphasis on practical vocabulary also means you can skip straight to the topic you want. Instead of spending weeks working through grammar exercises before learning anything useful, you can focus on words and phrases for travel, food, shopping, emergencies, or whatever situation is actually sending you to the app.
More than 30 million people have used uTalk, and the lifetime plan leaves plenty of room to explore. Learn Japanese for a trip, refresh the Italian you forgot after college, spend a week investigating Finnish because the mood struck … the list goes on.
If your language-learning ambitions routinely exceed your attention span, uTalk provides you with plenty of room to wander. Get lifetime access to more than 150 languages for $69.97 (reg. $300) through July 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
