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.

great for speaking with native foreigners in the language you are trying to learn. it is a great tool to use in addition to a language app. hearing the language from a native speaker greatly helps understanding over the commonly robotic voices in a language app. Definitely worth the paid subscription too, as it eliminates ads, finds local native speakers to help deal with timezone differences, and also will generate a transcript of voice messages to help. highly recommend if you're serious.

Amazing app, I love the people I meet and make friends with. The corrections are amazing features, very brilliant. I just with you could have the option to reply to every message so the response isn't confusing. I don't know why, but my chats have been glitched for a while to where I've not been able to scroll all the way down to the bottom of my chats. I'm not sure if I have too many people in my chats, but I hope it gets fixed soon.

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.
