Flipchat - Messenger app for iPhone and iPad

"Flipchat offers the most enjoyable and innovative way to learn a new language. By chatting with friends in your native language, all messages are automatically translated into the language you want to learn. This allows for a fun and interactive learning experience with friends, even if they are learning a different language. If you dont understand a message, simply tap it to reveal the original language. Audio is also available with a press and hold feature.

At Flipchat, we believe this is the most effective method of language learning as it provides real-life sentences, utilizes a popular activity (chatting with friends), and incorporates context to aid in understanding and retention. No more boring exercises or random sentences with no context - with Flipchat, you can learn a language while chatting with friends and remembering it better."
