There's no better way to learn a new language than to practice it every day. And a great way to do it is to change the language settings on your devices. With that said, it can get confusing if you're just starting out. Fortunately, your iPhone and Mac have a neat trick you can use: You can change the language of individual apps.

Before Changing the Language for an App on Your iPhone

Before you start changing your apps to different languages, you'll need to add any additional language to your iPhone settings. Just follow these steps to do so:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll down and select General > Language & Region > Add Language.
  3. In the search bar at the top, enter the language you want.
  4. Tap the language to add it.
  5. You'll have to choose if you want to change your iPhone to the new language or keep using your current one.
  6. Your iPhone will restart, and you'll then have the new language as part of your preferred language list.

You can add as many languages as you want. You can also move each language up or down to let your iPhone know your preferred order.

How to Change the Language for Individual Apps on an iPhone

Now that you have extra languages enabled, it's time to change the language of a specific app on your iPhone. Don't worry, the process is just as simple. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Scroll down and select the app you want to change.
  3. Tap Language.
  4. Select the language you want to use.
  5. Once you're done, exit Settings.

And that's it! Next time you open the app, you'll see it changed to the language you chose. Keep in mind that if the app doesn't support multiple languages, you won't be able to change it. In that case, the developers will need to add support for various languages first.

If you want the app to change the language again, just repeat the steps and choose a different language.

How to change the language of specific apps on Mac

The next time you open the app, it'll use the new language you selected. One point to keep in mind is that to change the language, your Mac will need to relaunch the app if it's open. So make sure you close the app beforehand or save everything before your Mac relaunches it to avoid losing something important.

If you want the app to go back to the previous language, repeat the steps above, select the app and click on the minus icon (-) in the Language & Region window.

Now it's your turn. Nothing is stopping you from learning words or phrases in any language you want.

If you want to step up your game, you might want to try other apps that'll really teach you different languages.
