What is language exchange?
Tandem language learning is the process of joining forces with someone who is a native speaker of the language you want to learn. Through conversation with your Tandem partner, known as language exchange, you improve your language skills and develop intercultural competence.

Tandem’s core value is to unite people across borders through language learning. Languages hold great power for unity, inclusivity, and equality. Language and cultural exchange are keys to unlock global understanding in our increasingly interconnected world.

Ratings and reviews

NOT FREE. for even basic functionality, you need pro at $40/month. My filters were set to the absolute default, and it would not show a single person. Despite being allowed to set fluent languages without pro (you need pro to set target lang tho), the app would not let me. I closed the app, restarted my phone, etc. Still wouldn't work. I decided to check the travel function, and it showed me there were hundreds of learners near me, but in order to click on an area, you need pro.

Ok well that will make me study Spanish more! 1st day & started 3 conversations. 2 stalled (people have lives). The other took off and helped me to learn from translating what I didn't know, and immediately wanted to start studying verbs again. I definitely recommend this if you are here to learn. It's natural to want to communicate and meeting new people is always cool.

This app is great! I met a language exchange partner and we practice twice a month. We are both serious about learning language skills and we get along well. I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn a language. The only downside is that some people on the app are not serious about practicing. My first language partner stopped messaging me and ghosted me. If that happens to you don't be discouraged. Keep reaching out to people until you find a serious language exchange partner!
