***Language Assistance***
- Travel: Think about it - you travel to Italy, France, China or any other foreign country where you have no idea how to speak the local language. During these times, you may encounter sticky or awkward situations because you can’t speak Chinese, Italian, French, etc. Linqapp users rush to the rescue by answering your questions immediately (ex: If you’re lost, post a picture asking, “Where am I?”). Also, gain firsthand travel advice from foreigners (where to visit, eat, shop) and also to help you prepare for “culture shock.”
- Translation/Proofreading - If you’re looking for Portuguese / Polish Translator or perhaps you need to translate English into Italian, etc. – Linqapp is the perfect place. You can also ask users to help you proofread or learn focused vocabulary (e.g. business English, computer terms in Chinese).
- Linqapp Live – Our newest service connects users to live native speakers via voice call for immediate and on-the-go language assistance. “Speak in tongues” wherever you go! Linqapp Live is great for study abroad students, travellers or business people.
***Community of Real Life Native Speakers***
Languages were created by people and best understood by people, not machines. Language is complex because it also includes cultural differences and contextual nuances that only real people can truly grasp. Linqapp is perfect for connecting with real people who become lifetime “penpals” that can, for example, help you with your French accent, explain Brazilian culture, be your travel buddy in Japan, help you translate English into German, and endless other possibilities. Talk about Linqapp’s cultural diversity! There is real meaning in these interactions as Linqapp users help each other overcome their language barriers and make connections with real people everyday.
