Yappr is an online community that brings users from all over the world together to improve their English language skills. It’s a community driven website with a strong focus on community and social aspects. The user begins by selecting his native language from 14 available ones including English itself which is probably there for native English speakers who want to contribute to the website.
Other languages include German, Japanese, Spanish, French and Chinese. Some features are only available to registered users, like participating in chat rooms or participating in discussions. Others are free for everyone which includes watching English videos.
That would not be different from websites like Youtube if not for the fact that every video is offering an English transcription and a translated version. Registered users can edit the translations or English transcriptions if they spot errors.
The usual social features are all available like friends, profile pages and points for activities. Currently videos make up the biggest part of the community but the developers have plans to integrate games and other activities to the website.
