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.

The app works great and it really gives the opportunity to communicate exchanging languages with people. You can meet great people who really want to learn a language. I do believe it should have an option for people who want something more, so people don't start engagement with second intentions. It's very annoying. It's not a dating app and unfortunately some don't make that distinction.

One of the better apps for language exchange. I think the community is a bit more focused on actually learning language and cultural exchange. Good features. Wish the ability to find language exchange partners based on location was NOT paywalled. It is essential to meet in person for speaking practice. But overall good app.

The app itself is great, (although finding good language exchange partners can take a while, as many users want to use it as a dating app or for other purposes). It's nice to find language lovers from around the world and speak to people in various languages. I highly recommend trying this app to practice your target language the way it is actually spoken and not just the most proper form.
