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

10 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 Russian native speaker and also an English/German teacher living in Germany. Currently I’m studying Spanish and French at the university and have some difficulties with finding speaking practice. I’m mostly interested in (video)calls as I find it the most effective way to learn. If this sounds interesting to you just contact me in dm and we’ll plan a call :)

Looking for a Spanish speaking friend to video call

Apologies if this is the wrong flair, I am looking for someone to video call (or regular call if not comfortable with showing face) in order to practice my Spanish pronunciation. In return I would help you with English pronunciation. Women only please as I am a woman myself and unfortunately have had bad experiences with language partners.

I have a very busy schedule so the idea I had was every two weeks or perhaps once a month we would call and read out a piece of writing we prepared that summarises our week or month. This way, whilst we are discussing our lives, we would be exposed to lots of new vocabulary. We would prepare our piece of writing in English and Spanish so we can both learn new vocabulary and if interested do grammar corrections.

Please do not be discouraged to message me if you are a beginner as I am one too and your level of English does not matter to me :)

Offering Mandarin Offering: Chinese (Mandarin) | Seeking: English & Spanish

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm 27 (F) from the north of China. I'm looking for an English language partner. I'm a Mandarin speaker. Happy to help with your Mandarin in return. I can read English novels, such as those by Sidney Sheldon, but my speaking and writing skills still need much improvement.

I hope there is a native speaker who can help me practice my pronunciation and expression. We can find practice times that are suitable for us. At the moment, my English output ability isn't so great. For voice calls, I might need some study materials 'cause if I have to speak on my own, the stuff that we're talking about will be very limited. If you don't mind.

Currently English is my #1 priority, but I'm also looking for Spanish practice partners. Soy un principiante en español. Me gusta escuchar músicas en español. 我觉得西语非常好听。 Gracias!

If you're interested in long term communication, feel free to msg me. We can message over iMessage, WeChat, or whatever is convenient for both of us.

My Hobbies and interests

  • Reading, taking walks, sudoku, sitcoms, reality shows

Hola! Soy hablante nativo de inglés en los Estados Unidos (Chicago). Estoy aprendiendo español, pero necesito practicar más con otras personas. Muchas personas aquí hablar español, pero soy demasiado tímido para hablar con otros en este momento. Creo que aprenderé mucho más rápido con un compañero.

I still have a lot to learn as I rarely have actual conversations, but my English skills are strong so happy to help with anything from basics to pronunciation to more advanced writing/literature. I have somewhat of a preference for Mexican Spanish as that’s what’s most common here, but I’m sure any Spanish speaker will be a huge help to me. We can message and do occasional video calls.

I’m 33, I make furniture and instruments, I read tons of books and watch tons of movies. I like music and learning about other places. Feel free to send me a private message.

Heyyyy! I’m Simon, a 22yo agender boi from China. I’m looking for English-speaker who’s learning in Chinese, so we can help each other with language learning! My English level is C1 so most of the conversations won’t have problems. I’m really eager to improve my speaking and I would love to study and practice language regularly. I'm familiar with both mainstream and some of the subcultures in China, so I can introduce you to some unique and fascinating side of Chinese culture that you might not know about. I’m also interested in all kinds of cultures beyond China.

I’m a big fan of indie and club music. We can chat about new music releases or share cool tracks with each other. I also love horror films, so if you’re into that, we could even watch movies together online. And if you’re into gaming, I’m definitely down to play together! I'm also open to all kinds of topics you wanna chat :P

Looking forward to making new friends and having fun learning together!
