Language Exchange
Get free language practice by exchanging your time teaching your native language for
time learning a foreign language.
Are you interested in finding someone to trade time practicing and teaching a language?
This is where you can find partners for language exchange. A language exchange is a great way to get practice in a foreign language. How do you do a language exchange?
- Find a language exchange partner and arrange a time to have a conversation.
- Spend 5 minutes speaking only in your native language
- Spend 5 minutes speaking only in the language you are studying
Language exchanges are free and very informal. If you and your partner are intermediate or advanced level, you can spend a longer time speaking in each language.
You can also practice your writing by becoming penpals. You can write messages to each other through the italki chat or italki message system.
Language exchange partners are people just like you! Search through the list and start making friends around the world.
