Find a partner to practice your language with here!

Find others to practice languages with! Speaking, writing, whatever you like.

Just make a post with the relevant information: languages you'd like to practice, languages you can help with, and the sorts of interaction you're interested in. Or you can just message people with compatible interests.

Guidelines

Please stick to the format "Offering: . Seeking:" / Seeking: . Offering.". This is a rule, so not following it may result in your publication being removed or being banned (due to persistence)

Please select a post flair for your post that best matches the language(s) you're OFFERING. That way it is easy for others to easily find all users who are offering a language.

You MUST offer a language. No seeking without offering. You are welcome to help others teach your language without anything in return.

Examples of posts that are allowed:

Offering: English, Seeking: Vietnamese (and friendship!)

Offering: Mandarin, Seeking: Japanese, Spanish

Offering: Russian, Kazakh, Seeking: Nothing

Examples of posts that are NOT allowed:

Offering: Nothing, Seeking: Hindi

Offering: Friendship, Seeking: French

Offering: Bulgarian, Seeking: Friendship

(The main purpose of this sub is language exchange and language learning! There are other subs for finding general friends.)

The goal here is not specifically to form paired relationships. If you know a language well and just want to speak or write it with others without wanting anything in return, you're more than welcome to offer.

Mostly, just use this as a place to find people to talk/write with in languages you're learning or languages you know well.

In order to improve your chances of finding fitting language partners, remember that you will be communicating with real people. So consider including some information about yourself, such as hobbies, age, gender, as well your timezone/time availability for real time communication.

Offering: English (fluent C2 level) and Arabic (native Egyptian) | Seeking: Friendship and a conversation partner

Hello there, internet peeps! Mohamed, 24M doctor from Egypt here, and I'm looking to hopefully find a chatting partner who wants to learn either Arabic or English. I also speak a little bit of French, but I didn't add that in my title because my level is very elementary.

I'm very much a multi-cultural person who likes to learn more about different cultures and countries. I've already travelled to a few different countries (Malaysia was my favorite), and I hope to travel to many more (my wanderlust is yet to be satiated).

I also like to teach others and share the beauty of Egypt and my own culture with the world. As for hobbies, I like swimming, jogging, playing chess, gaming, watching anime, and learning languages. I like chatting about movies, music, philosophy, culture, and (sometimes) politics. I recently graduated med school (was a long journey 😩) and I've been juggling work with studying and social activities, so please excuse me if I take a little while to respond.

Seeking: Spanish | Offering: Portuguese, English

Hi all!

I'm looking for someone to practice my Spanish. Mostly interested in speaking, but I am also open to writing as a filler.

I consider myself to be an intermediate Spanish speaker. I am a native Portuguese speaker, from Brazil, and as such our languages share many similarities. I also have about 1.5 years of Spanish studies, and some millage in reading books in Spanish.

As a native Portuguese speaker that would be the language I'm most comfortable sharing, but I'm also quite capable of speaking English. I was born in England, were I lived for almost 3 years, and when I was older I studied 1 full year in Canada. I also work with an American and Indian team and have to speak English daily in a professional setting, explaining complex situations and ideas. I can help if you want to practice conversation and you are not terribly concerned with the formal structures of the language.

A little bit about myself: I am a 33 years old man who have studied physics for a living, but sadly ended up in a corporate job. Although that was not what I studied for, at least I'm not starving! Lately I'm trying to migrate to cyber security, as I really enjoy finding vulnerabilities in applications and I think the market has very good potential.

I'm very interested in sciences, technology, philosophy, politics (I'll save you the trouble and share that I'm really a left-winged commie here) and investments. My main hobbies are tabletop RPG (I run a D&D campaign that's about to end!), reading and gaming (for gamings currently I'm really into Total War Warhammer 3), watching animes as well as the usual "listening musics" and "watching series" but that is pretty much everyone.

If you're interested please let me know! I'm available at week days after 17:00 CT

Offering: German (first language); English | Seeking: Italian

Hi!
I am Paul, M30. I live with my girlfriend and our dog in southern Hamburg, and I am looking for someone to practise my Italian with.
In my free time. I like to organise regular board-game nights, I read a lot, and I am interested in making music and I play chess.
I used to work in physical research for a couple of years, now I am majorly a software developer, professionally.

I am conversationally fluent in everyday Italian language. Ideally I would like someone, who likes to talk with me in Italian while meeting up for a coffee in person or joining our board-game nights, giving me occasional feedback for my Italian.

Happy to hear from you soon!
Paul

Offering: English | Seeking: French

Bonjour! Je apprendre Français.

Hello, I’m learning French for about 2 weeks and have realized that for me speaking is my preferred learning method.

My favorite hobbies are watching film, partying, learning languages, traveling, and comedy.

I live in Germany and can speak it pretty well too. I’ve been here 4 years and work with data.

I would say I’m a calm dude who likes a good laugh and isn’t too hung up on being perfect with French but my pronunciation isn’t very good yet.

I’m from the United States so I can’t help you with a proper English accent.

Hoping to have fun and help where I can.

I'm a university student and I like nerd things like videogames, fantasy novels, D&D, manga but also theatre and opera, and I love visiting museums, art galleries and historical cities and places in general.

Offering: German (native) Seeking: Spanish (preferably Spain/Andalucía)

Born and raised in Germany. I'm learning Spanish for about 10 weeks now, but I don't have anybody to talk to and maybe I find someone here. I'm visiting Cádiz in about 6 weeks, so a Spaniard or someone from Andalucía would be great. I'm down to talk to anyone, but would prefer similar timezones. Just shoot me a message :)

Offering: French (native), English (pretty good) Seeking : Japanese

Hello everyone !

I'm 26, french, and currently in a weird cursus that starts with learning QA testing in video games and ends with becoming a Senior Systems and Network Technician (I don't know why but it's fun).

I was born and raised in France, and have learned enough english to play D&D (and talk about other things). I'm into travelling (because I'm original), food (because I'm french), video and tabletop games, movies (I go to the theater once a week at least), general knowledge (I love trivial pursuit), and probably other things but my brain stopped working once I started writing this.

I'd love to talk with someone speaking japanese, because I'm learning (using Anki !) and I feel like I'd do better if I had another motivation. As for the reason I picked Japanese instead of, idk, spanish, is mostly because most of the medias I consume that aren't in French or English are japanese. I'd love to talk about pretty much anything ! And while I may not be the best french teacher, I'll do my best to help you any way I can !

I can chat using Discord and mails, and probably through other platforms as well. As I said, my brain is hardly functioning today.

That's pretty much it, I guess ?

Offering: Chinese(Mandarin, native)| Seeking: English(native)

Hi there! I'm 24F from mainland China, aiming at speaking 4 hours of English a week. With less than 2 months left until I graduate from the university, my goal is to be qualified to teach children how to read in English. Because my major Art theory can not bring me a job apparently. I'm already proficient with the input items but so unfamiliar with the output.

I'm happy with talking about any topic. My interests mainly include games, animes, and movies. I've watched so many animes and movies. My favorite games are soul-like games, Stardew Valley, Zelda, and Death Stranding. And if you wish, we can also talk about art, philosophy, politics, and feminism. I may not be fluent in discussing big and complex topics in English, but these are the things I've learned in my major.

I'd like to practice my spoken English by audio or video calls. I am also willing to assist you in Chinese in the same way.
