Our small office has been very busy recently preparing a big new update to uTalk<\/a>, and\u00a0we\u2019re very happy to finally share it with you! Some of you may have already tried it – if you have we\u2019d love to hear what you think.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what’s new?<\/span><\/p>\n

Stars and Specials<\/h3>\n

Stars are the biggest change within the new features, and it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019re all pretty excited about them!\u00a0With the Stars, the more you play the more you get, so they’re basically in-game coins. By earning stars and achievements you can then buy additional topics or what we call uTalk Specials. These are extra topics that you may find helpful in various situations such as Camping, Driving, Sailing and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Dashboard<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve introduced the Score Dashboard where you can see your points, your stars, uTalk Specials and Achievements. These are designed to keep you motivated; every time you get past a small milestone (like getting 30 correct answers in a row or try out half of the topics), we\u2019ll reward you with stars that can be used to buy the uTalk Specials.<\/span><\/p>\n

New-look store<\/h3>\n

The store inside the app where you can purchase extra topics has a brand new look too, which\u00a0we think is nice to play with. We\u2019ve added beautiful imagery and interactive descriptions of how the app features will help you learn, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instant Search<\/h3>\n

Something that\u2019s not new but always helpful to have is the search bar at the top of the screen that you can use to search for words when you\u2019re in a rush. Plus, you can search with emojis too!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

The uTalk app is free to download for iPhone and iPad, and you can try any of the languages for free with our Starter Pack. We\u2019d love to hear from you so please get in touch at info@eurotalk.com<\/a>\u00a0or even better, if you love the update, leave us a review on the App Store<\/a> and we’ll be your friends for life \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
