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! ;)

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
