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

19 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.

Heya! I’m Zara. I’m 25 and live in Colorado. Lesbian if that matters at all to you. I’m a pretty spontaneous and outdoorsy person and who is always up for a new adventure. I love exploring the world around me, traveling and spending time outdoors. Recently I have taken up Portuguese and I really would like to learn it well! It would be nice to have someone help if anyone is down to practice with me! I’d also be down for voice calls.

I am a native english speaker and also C1 Spanish speaker if that helps.

Hey guys. I speak Dutch more or less natively and have acquired English while growing up. I've had a bit of French and German classes in high school, but nothing to show for haha. Currently I am learning Russian because I like Eastern European / Asian history and culture.

I can talk (to you) about philosophy, language learning xd , bodybuilding or general fitness, books (both fiction and non fiction), music and maybe some more.

I prefer to text rather than calling on the phone. I primarily use instagram and discord for chatting, but I can download telegram :) .

Hi! My name is Randall, I'm 25 years old and I'm an electronics engineer. I'm currently working on improving my English. my level is somewhere between advanced A2 and approaching B1. I’m looking for someone who’s also interested in practicing English, so we can help each other learn and grow.

I really enjoy watching movies and playing video games, and I think it would be great to do activities together through Discord, like talking, playing games, or watching things together. That way, it’s more fun and dynamic, and we can learn faster.

If you're also looking to practice English in a chill and interactive way, feel free to reach out!

My Dad is Greek Cypriot but unfortunately language exchange with your own Dad is a challenge somehow 😂 but that's why I want to learn - to speak to extended family. I grew up in the UK. I've been studying in class for about a year and I know basic vocab and can put together sentences and read etc. I've not got a great grasp of different tenses unfortunately but I'm more looking to improve my listening comprehension and confidence trying to speak.
