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.
How to learn languages on Tandem:
1. Select the language(s) you want to learn in the app
2. Tell us about your language learning goals and your ideal Tandem partner
3. Search for native speakers of your target language in the community
4. Kick-off your language exchange experience by sending your first message
5. Share topics with the Tandem community so you can have meaningful conversations about what interests you
6. Keep up the conversation with your new Tandem “pen pal” and speak like a native in no time!

Ratings and Reviews
Great site
I have been on Tandem for a couple of years now. It’s an amazing site for practicing languages and at the same time for making friends all over the world, for free! I have at least a dozen genuine friendships as a result, some of which have been ongoing since I started. There have only been one or two oddball encounters such as people wanting me to pay them, or getting me to correct their essays, but I reported those and they disappeared. I know at least one person here who has found love and romance, after primarily using it to practice language exchange, although I realise this is not what it was intended for. It’s certainly not my purpose, although I do get quite a lot of very young women from poor countries wanting to practice English with 77 year old me! They usually have very revealing, sexy photos. I’m not interested so I don’t pursue those encounters. Being a native English speaker I seem to be in great demand, especially among Russians keen to practice English. I could be speaking Russian all day every day if I followed up on all the Russians who contacted me. But for those Russians it seems very hard to find native English language partners, as they are not so many available as the other way round. Thus for me it has been excellent. Thank you so much!
Changed my Life :)
This app was incredible when I moved back to England from France and wanted to keep my French up - I got on with some really special people and we ended up meeting up! I’d highly recommend the app for keeping up your language skills (rather than learning from scratch). It’s a good way of practicing writing skills, aural skills, and there are even options of video calls to help with confidence when speaking :)
I also met my significant other on this app and we’ve been together for about 3.5 years now - in the same country! :) we spoke on this app a lot and thought we’d meet up as friends because we got on so well! (It isn’t a dating app, and that’s not what I’m trying to sell it as - I wanted to show how easy it is to form friendships and connections with people through here) - Thank you Tandem!
Makes it possible to have a tandem partner remotely
I love learning languages and a Tandem is the best way to do it. I remember the days when people found their Tandems on good old uni message boards. I recently wanted to improve my French but I am no longer at Uni and I live in Northern Ireland. I didn’t have time to travel far to meet with a possible tandem and I thought there had to be a way to do it remotely. That’s how I found tandem. It’s a wonderful app. It helps you find your tandem, talk, video call, play games and casually instant message with the added ability to correct their messages. I love it and I have already recommended it to my friends.
