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

People can resort to flirting and it feels like it's not always about the language learning aspect. It's a good way to meet fun and interesting people globally but for learning you have to be real selective about who you decide to put time into. Spend a day speaking one language and the next day speaking the other language. The more you struggle the more natural it will get. The app is a bit too monetized in ways as well which can be isolating even for the members who pay I think.

I have had tandem for five years. I like tandem and would be sad if it vanished, but between most of its features being pointless and most of the people on tandem being annoying, lying about languages they know, and using it to hit on you, you're better off using it to find language partners and then delete it. Still significantly better than hellotalk.

I originally had this app years ago and decided to start using it again. It used to be a great way to connect with people, whether close by or far away. The app is just trash now. Everything that made the app great (translations, language partner searches) is now hidden behind the paywall. The one cool thing they added was audio chatrooms but I can never get in them because ads for other apps will play instead of letting me in.

What's new

Bye bye bugs! We have hunted down some bugs in this version to make it even better for you to easily connect with native speakers. Update to the latest version to get all new features and improvements!
