This New App May Be The Airbnb Of Language Learning
Philip Sopher

Are you a native language speaker or someone looking to stay sharp on the language they're learning? Accint sounds like the app for you!

Pronounced like "Accent," Accint is a new smart phone app coming to the app store in September that allows people learning a language to have conversations with native speakers in your area. It is designed like Tinder in the sense that it finds native speakers near you and after viewing the native speaker profiles and rates ($15-$40 per conversation) you can choose who you'd like to help you brush up on the many languages Accint helps with.

The app is based out of Washington D.C and founder Philip Sopher is excited for the app's release. "Although it is in the app store right now, Accint is still in it's Beta stages and should have more users as soon as next month," says Sopher. It's an easy to use, easy to navigate, and makes languages easier to learn app! This is not an app for beginners, but instead an app for someone who already knows the language and is looking to have conversation practice.

Nothing better than language and culture immersion to learn a language!

I was concerned about the safety of this app due to the fact that you're meeting people in your area to practice your conversation skills, but founder, Mr. Sopher assured me that like any other app, there is a process the native speakers must go through while creating their profile. This process asks the speaker for their phone number and profile picture which establishes credibility within the app and after each meeting up to converse, each person must write a review online.



Sopher says they will continue working out kinks as the app continues to develop, but for now, the app is very safe and efficient. The app is FREE! I don't know about you, but I'm about to hit the App Store! What a perfect way for me to prepare for my trips abroad!!


Livin la vida Loca!! (Is that how you say it? Better check Accint! ;)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
