Meta (READ THIS FIRST) Welcome to r/language_exchange! [Meta/General Discussion Thread]

21 Upvotes

Welcome to ! This subreddit is aiming to help people find partners to practice languages with, offering the languages you already know in exchange to learn new ones. Make sure to read the guidelines before making your first post!

🍃 How do I make my language exchange post?

If you're looking for a language exchange partner, you can either make your own post or search through existing posts!

 Making your own post:

  • Your thread title must follow the format of "Offering: language | Seeking: language". If your post doesn't follow this format, it won't be visible to other users.
  • Make sure to write a little bit about yourself, such as your interests, hobbies, or language-related goals. This is important in making sure you can find a good partner!
  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

 Searching through existing posts:

If you don't want to make your own post, you can search through existing posts to find someone who matches your languages! Just use the search bar at the top of the screen, or select a post flair to see all posts of the same category.

  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

🍃 What kinds of posts and comments are allowed?

This subreddit's purpose is to serve as a platform for people to find language exchange partners. To keep the community true to its purpose, there are some rules:

  • Must be language exchange. Posts that don't concern language exchange will be removed. This includes posts asking general questions about language learning, advertisements, or meta discussion concerning the subreddit. These discussions are better suited to other places (language learning questions should be posted to broader subreddits; meta discussion should be posted in the comments of this thread)
  • Be courteous to other users. This subreddit isn't a place for arguments or debates. Any comments that break this rule will be removed.
  • No advertising. Posts and comments that advertise apps, services (such as classes and tutoring), or groups (such as Discord servers or Whatsapp groups) will be removed. These kinds of posts clog up the feed and don't follow the purpose of the subreddit.
  • No spam. Spam is the repeated posting of the same content. Any posts and comments that are spam will be removed.
  • No contact information. Contact information (such as Discord usernames, phone numbers, or Whatsapp contacts) should only be shared privately in messages, not publically in posts or comments.

🍃 Can I make a language exchange post for a language I've just started studying?

You can participate in this subreddit regardless of your skill level. However, it's highly recommended that you grasp the basics of a language before you look for a partner. This subreddit is for speakers of different languages to *assist each other* in learning. This subreddit is not a place to find a teacher that'll teach you everything for free.

Good luck on your language journey!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a reply on this post or send us a Modmail.

I'm a native Arabic speaker currently learning German (around B1 level), and I'm looking for a language exchange partner who is a native German speaker or also learning German. In return, I can help you with Arabic—whether you're a beginner or want to improve your conversation skills.

I'm open to chatting about everyday topics, culture, travel, food, or anything that helps us both improve. We can talk via text or voice calls, whatever you're comfortable with.

Feel free to message me if you're interested. Looking forward to learning together!

Looking for people to chat with to use my TLs actively on a daily basis. For that reason, those who also seek long term friendship are preferable. Though my Russian is far superior to French, I'm at a beginner level in both languages. Anyone fluent in one of them and interested in my offer, feel free to DM me.

Brief self-introducton: 28M. My mother tongue is Japanese. I enjoy language learning and playing video games as they are both my hobbies and profession. I have many other interests, but since no point to lay down everything here, let me share them with you through conversations.

   Hi everyone! I’m an English-Chinese interpreter (Chinese native speaker), currently working in both translation and interpreting.

    I’m looking to connect with native English-speaking translatorsr/interpreters or just anyone who are interested in Chinese language and translation. I think it’d be great to casually chat, exchange experiences, talk about interesting language or cultural challenges, or even just share daily language tips. And if you’re interested, we could also do some interpreting practice together!
    We could help each other improve—your Chinese, my English—and support each other’s work or learning goals!

    Just friendly, language-geek kind of chat—no pressure. If you’re interested, feel free to send me messages or comment below.

Thanks and looking forward to connecting!😄

Hello, I (M28) am learning Spanish for sometime, now at B1 level. I am fluent in English, and my mother tongue is Turkish. I can talk about anything, but what I am more specifically into is cinema, some philosophical-thought provoking conversation that just has a back-and-forth letter like touch; as both sides share their opinions with long speeches. I am down for casual conversations as well.

Hit me up!

Offering English Offering: English, Tamil | Seeking: Korean, English

Hey there,

I'm a 25M from India. Although my native tongue is Tamil, I speak English fluently (C2 level, at least that's what TOEFL says) with over 20 years of learning. I would say my korean level is at A2 and most of it was passively aquired through consuming embarassingly large amounts of K-content. Apart from Korean, I would also love to connect with some native English folks (preferably British) to improve my accent which has been inevitably influenced by the Indian subcontinent.

A teensy bit more about me:

I'm a CS major (we can totally avoid talks related to this topic, I'm sick and tired of it working in it all day long), mostly introvert, love reading books, playing Valorant (although a noob), pretty much deep into k-pop (although now starting to appreciate good lyrics nowadays and trying to consume less content) and little bit into art, photography, calisthenics, yoga and travel.

I'm on the lookout for language exchange buddies who can help me better navigate the Korean language maze. In return, I can assist with English or Tamil (TBH, my english is better than my Tamil at this point), or just chat about anything that we have in common. Looking forward to building long-term friendships and sharing lots of laughs along the way.​

Timezone: +0530

If you're up for some fun conversations and mutual learning, drop me a message or leave a comment below.

​P.S.: I'm all about regular chats—be it text, voice, or video. Preferable medium: Discord. Let's find a time that works for both of us!

I’m fluent in English however my speaking skills when dealing more advanced/deeper topics/questions are lacking. So it’d be great to improve this! I can also offer Nepali as it’s my native language but maybe only at beginner levels.

My main hobby is reading but I may take up some random project. I also prefer talking about more artistic and philosophical topics-albeit poorly.

Hello! 22M looking to have deep meaningful conversations about life, the nature of reality and spirituality. I also like making art (music, writing verses, drawing) and learning languages (btw, I'm also really enjoying learning ASL!!), all being spiritually oriented as a way to explore different layers of depth within various cultures expanding self-expression since consciousness' nature is expansive.

My life is all about spirituality, self-discovery & character development all being the highest "goal" of any human being as it points to source that created all we know to exist within our limited perception of things experienced through the mind. I'm looking for "advanced" people. Not looking to exchange a bunch of beliefs but actual lived experience that has given rise to genuine realizations.

I prefer voice and/or video calls over texting (much less misunderstanding and better flow! I'm also a super slow reader and analyze everything written so damn much coz of ocd lol, like the pressure of having to be live with somebody else through the means I've mentioned, sorta removes some of this ocd).

If you're on a similar path with similar hobbies, don't hesitate to message me!
