  1. We do not allow the use of insulting, racist or mean comments.
  2. Read the submission rules before posting.

Breaking the first rule once will result in a warning, breaking it twice or more will result in a ban.

If you see anyone breaking the rules, please report them!

Submission Rules

This is a subreddit for learning new languages, so the title of your post must contain:

  1. The language you want to learn
  2. The level (A1-C2) or (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced)
  3. Your native language and other languages you are fluent in or currently learning.

Native brazilian portuguese speaker looking for native french speaker.

What Im looking for:

Looking to practice/learn french writing/reading with a native speaker. You can be from any place that speaks french as your mother tongue (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, Luxembourg, Quebec region in Canada) or a place where french is a secondary language widely spoken (Morocco, Argeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, both Congos, Gabon, etc.).

My only requirements is that your french is the most well understandable possible to the most countries (most related to standard french), and that you are in age between 18 and ~25 yrs old.

I like talking about culture, daily things, and random things in general. I would like that our conversation flows naturally as we speak.

Im not interested in voice chat or any type of visual/audio contact between us (at least in the first moments), only writting and reading. This can be long term or not, depending on circunstances. DM me if interested.

Offering: Arabic, Seeking: Spanish / Japanese / Italian

Hello everyone,

Native Arabic speaker here. Obviously I’d love to learn many languages (ordered in priority) as I’m interested in these cultures and would love to visit these countries (even for longer periods than just for tourism).

I’d prefer Hispanic Spanish over European (culture-wise) but both works so please comment if interested!

Language buddy for French - offering German (native) and English (C1)

Hey, I‘m looking for a language buddy for French.
I learned French for five years in school, but honestly it’s pretty crappy as I lack basic vocabulary and grammar. And I think at this point I just need someone to speak to instead of trying to learn grammar.
It’s a beautiful language and I really want to speak it better than I do now.
I can offer German (native language) and English (C1) :)

Offering: Spanish (Native) | Seeking: English

Hi there! I'm 19 (M) from Colombia. I'm looking for a serious language exchange partner. I will be going to Atlanta (USA) in October for a purely English-speaking event, and I want to be able to enjoy this event without feeling embarrassed or unable to communicate well with people.

At the moment, I'm focused on the following topics, so I'll enjoy conversations about these more, but in general, I like to talk about anything interesting: Podcasts, Startups, positive impact on society (I organize events like TEDx talks and Startup Weekend to encourage these seeds in young people like me), running, hobbies!

Offering: English, ASL Seeking:French

I’m looking for someone who is willing to help me learn French. My current level is about B2 comprehension, B1 production. An ideal language learning partner would be open to a fairly intensive weekly call schedule. I am a high school girl, and while I’m sure there are a number of wonderful guys on here, a girl around my age would keep me out of trouble with my parents. I know I’m asking a lot, but I can promise a balanced partnership offering English or ASL!

Keep making Language themed videos?

This is probably not going to reach anyone, but I would like some honest opinions, so I guess this is the place for that.

I’ve been trying to make nice little language themed videos, (mostly focused on german, english and spanish), but I’m wondering how I can make them better/ nicer for people to watch.

Languages are a huge passion of mine and I want to share it in a hopefully helpful way.

Be honest but package it nicely, I’m sensitive😂😂

Much looove, Me🥸

Here are examples of what I mean:

Hello! Seeking Korean, Offering: English, Friendship/Penpals

Hello! I am a very beginner when it comes to Korean, meaning, I probably only know a handful words, and desire to learn more. I am studying through Koreanclass101 and the Learn Korean from Zero 1 Workbook.

I struggle with pronunciation. So, I would love to do voice and/or video chats, preferably weekly, if possible.

I would also love to learn to sing in Korean as well. You don't need to teach me how to sing, but just help me with the words.

If you could help me, that would be appreciated. I once had WhatsApp, but my phone died, and got a new one. So, if you were once in contact with me, feel free to reach out again. Thanks!

Learning Japanese

I took it up as a hobby, working through it on Duolingo. Could use a learning partner to stay motivated. Also, what would be a good speed to do lessons in Duolingo (minutes or lessons per day)?
