  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.

Looking for Finnish or Swedish study buddy.

Hi! I’m looking for anyone who is down to study Finnish or Swedish with me, I already have some basic knowledge on both languages; it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced.

I am fluent in English and Russian (I’m more advanced in Russian than fluent); if anyone needs help with that please let me know!

Looking for an English speaker (fluent/native language) Offering Spanish

Hello ! I am 20 years old and for a year and a half I was doing a degree in English, I left it because I am not interested in being a teacher but I am interested in learning the language, I would say that I have at least a B1, I can read and understand conversations about different topics but my ability Speaking is horrible because I have no one to practice with. So if anyone is interested in having a study partner to practice with, I'm here!

btw: If you are in Medellín, Colombia, there are language exchanges in several places, we could go!

Easter egg hunt

If anyone is in Sydney by Central Park I bought some weed and couldn't finish in time for my flight back home, it is outside the four points right across from. An Indian restaurant in the plants, you can see it wrapped in a little green plastic bag. Enjoy

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)?

Offering: French (native) | Seeking: Norwegian (advanced), Swedish (beginner), Danish (beginner)

Hei/Hej!
My name's Charlie (30M) and I'm looking for people in Scandinavia that are currently learning French.
I speak Norwegian pretty well (I passed the Norsk Trinn IV test in 2017), and I am now trying to learn Swedish and Danish (but I prioritize the former at the moment). I need help with speaking mostly as this is the hardest language skill to work on from abroad.
In exchange, I can help you with your French. I graduated a teacher of French as Second Language, so I should be able to help you out with any problem you encounter with my native language.
What I'm looking for in a language partner is someone who:

  • wants to have regular spoken and written exchanges.
  • (for Norwegian) speaks one of the following dialects:
    • Oslosdialekt
    • Indre sognamål
    • Finnmark dialeker (think Bjørn Sundquist :P)

I enjoy all sorts of discussions, but I have a particular interest in the following topics:

  • Music (I play guitar and listen to rock/metal)
  • Movies/series (I am constantly watching movies/series)
  • Video games (my best recent discovery was Detroit: Become Human, but I love the usual GTA5, RDR2, LoL, etc.) - Maybe we can even play together.
  • Linguistic (I studied quite a lot of languages, although none as seriously as Norwegian, but I love discussing different languages)

So don't hesitate to send me a message if you're interested.

I look forward to your replies :)

I'm offering to help people with English. Seeking online friendship and cultural exchanges.

Hi my name is Daniel I'm 24. I'm an American living in Israel. I'm offering to help people pratice English. Happy to say I have made some online friends and helped them improve their English. Some have seen massive career success.

About me im currently injured and sick. On a bunch of meds. Helping people makes me feel better about this time in my life. My interests were working out, mixed martial arts, economics, history, philosophy, cooking, traveling, learning and jokingly I think I can get a honorary medical certification with all my medical issues. Before I got sick Financial markets were big part of my life. I'd be happy to talk about that and world events. But generally everything. My biggest hobby now is watching shows. Would be happy for some recommendations.

I really enjoyed, House MD and Loudermilk. Trying to watch Tokyo Vice.

I'm also looking to explore new kinds of music.

I'm looking for people who take this seriously and are interesting to talk to from all over the world.

My preferred method is Telegram but I have discord and other social medias.

Send me a DM. If your interested in communicating.

Offering: French (Native) - Seeking: Norwegian (B2-C1)

Hei!

My name's Charlie (30M) and I'm looking for someone from Norway who's learning French and who'd like some help with the language. I graduated as teacher of French as Second Language, so I think I'd be in a good place to help you with your learning.

In exchange, you can help me out with my Norwegian. It used to be pretty good (I passed the Norsk Trinn IV test in 2017, but I hadn't spoken Norwegian in the 4 years prior and I haven't spoken it since... So I would guess my level is now at a solid B2 (but it's coming back quickly ^^) ). I need help with speaking mostly as this is the hardest language skill to work on from abroad.

I'm looking for someone who:

  • wants to have regular spoken and written exchanges.
  • who speaks one of the following dialects:
    • Oslosdialekt
    • Indre sognamål
    • Finnmark dialeker (think Bjørn Sundquist :P)

  • Linguistic (I studied quite a lot of languages, although none as seriously as Norwegian, but I love discussing different languages)

Don't hesitate to send me a message if you're interested.

I look forward to your replies :)

26F | Offering English🇨🇦(Native) & Arabic. Seeking French🇫🇷!

Please ONLY message me if you are a female.

Hi all, I am a native English and Arabic speaker and I am searching for a French speaker (I am around B1 level).

In order to improve our fluency, I think a strategy might be to do 2 calls in the week, each an hour long. We can do half an hour in English or Arabic, and half an hour in French. I can help you with any questions about English or Arabic and we can give each other tips to improve.I am open to any ideas you might have, such as if you prefer to text occasionally.

Please DM me if you are interested 😊

21M🇨🇦🏳️‍⚧️Offering English (N); Seeking Swedish🇸🇪 (A1)

Hello,

My name is Leo (he/him) I live in Ontario and I don’t know anyone here who speaks Swedish so I was hoping I could find someone (preferably around my age but if ur older/younger that’s no problem) to help me practice. English is my first and only language so if you are seeking help with that we could help each other out.

I have been learning Swedish on and off for a few years so I know some vocab but I’m still a beginner and would love help with pronunciation and grammar. Feel free to comment/pm me if ur interested and we can set something up. Otherwise if you know any good free resources/courses online let me know!

Thank you.
