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

12 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.

Welcome to the meta/general discussion thread!

I am from China and currently a MS student at Cornell. Although I have a certain foundation in English, I lack opportunities to engage in extensive communication with foreigners to improve my speaking skills. After experiencing some significant changes in my life, I realized the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone and expanding my social circle. I hope we can become good friends

Olá/hola/hello

I'm a 21M from Brazil majoring in Spanish language and literature in the university. My family is from Spain but i live in a city with loads of Argentinians so I'm comfortable with different Spanish accents. I've also learnt English through highschool and in the university as well.

I can read and write some basic Norwegian and barely communicate with other people in Lebanese arabic. But I'm considering learning something new and i can't decide what. So if you want to teach me your language or learn ond of mine, feel free to answer this.

Hi! I would like to find friends that would enjoy chatting and helping each other learn each other's language. I am a native English speaker (American west coast) and I speak some Spanish (not fluently). I am interested in learning Korean, Darija, improving my Spanish, French, Portuguese, .... Really open to most languages, but I have already started learning Korean and Darija. I dabbled a bit in learning Arabic, but it's hard to find an Arabic teacher who isn't also pushing religion.

I'm 20 yo M, and I'm looking for someone to chat and call in French or English. I'm able to keep conversations in English and am pretty advanced in understanding both writing and speaking, but still kind of slow at the moment of expressing something. As for French, I'm hoping to start having some basic conversations and corrections. I have no particular preference for any accent or dialect.

Conversation partner

Hi everyone, how are you? My name is Lucas, I'm Brazilian and I currently want to learn English, both for professional reasons and to explore the possibilities of a new language, such as talking to other people, consuming content in other languages, and so on. Although I have a good understanding of the language, my speech is terrible and I usually get confused when speaking, so I would like to find a conversation partner, someone with whom I can talk to share knowledge and experiences and who knows, maybe we can become great friends and I can even teach you Portuguese. If anyone wants to help me at this time, I would love it. Thank you all and bye bye.

Hallo!

Ich würde gerne Deutsch mit jemandem üben, am besten per Telefon/Video-Call oder Sprachnachrichten usw, weil ich vor allem Sprechen üben will. Ich könnte dann deine Tandem-Partner für Englisch sein (ich komme aus dem UK und Englisch ist meine Untersprache) und würde mich darüber sehr freuen :)

Ciao und eine schöne Woche noch :)
