student. Overall, this is a fun way to make friends, learn new cultures and languages. users

simply need to select the language of the user and the language they want to learn and then tell

them a little bit about the user's interests. The main interface only consists of a button to initiate

information is not protected by an unknown public. Therefore, guidelines for using this

application in learning need to be created to maximize the potential of social media applications.

the user's understanding as well as foster their interest in learning English and create a fun

learning environment. Learning activities will become active and more effective. This English

application also proves that learning methods using the app are effective in improving English
