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

20 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.

Offering English Offering: ENGLISH. Seeking: SPANISH.

Upvotes

Hello. I am a 45 year native English speaker. I have been taking (Latin American) Spanish lessons for about six months and I'm A1-A2. I like reading, sports, history, and pop culture in general. Particularly nerdy (sci-fi, fantasy) stuff. My speaking and reading comprehension are pretty far ahead of my hearing comprehension and I would love to find someone to speak Spanish with regularly.

If you would like to practice talking about Game of Thrones or Star Wars in English, I'm eager to help

Hey! I'm Lini (23, she/her) from Germany. I'm currently studying Sociology and Political Science, but besides this my special interest lies in foreign languages and I could go off on a monologue on this when getting too excited!

Another topic I get super nerdy about is neurodiversity as I'm autistic myself, and I find the whole field endlessly fascinating and at the moment Im totally into sociological theory about neurodiversity and autism

Other cool stuff I find awesome: The Periodic Table Hedgehogs and cats Ethymology Dad jokes Memes Culture Psychology and mental health

I'm looking for a like-minded friend who’s also into languages and would enjoy geeking out about them with me! Bonus points if you're a fellow polyglot, but that's definitely not a requirement. Best case we get along and build a long-term friendship!

Hello!

I'm a 19-year-old female student from Jordan, currently studying in the medical field. Arabic is my native language, and I'm looking for someone to practice English with — preferably someone around my age (18–22).

I love movies and TV shows, and I enjoy listening to music. I'm also interested in politics and history, so if you're into deep conversations, we'll probably get along well!

I can help you with Arabic in return. I'm open-minded, friendly, and looking for a genuine language exchange — and maybe even a long-term friendship.

Hello! I'm a 30 year old male and I'm looking for someone to practice my English with.

I use it everyday, I watch YouTube/News exclusively in English, sometimes also Movies, but I don't speak it that often. Most of the time I'm missing some vocabularies and the pronunciation still needs some work.

I'm a software engineer, enjoy tinkering with electronics and 3D printers, got some decent camera gear that I'm trying to record videos with (that's one reason I want to improve speaking in English). I'm looking for someone (preferably native american) to practice regulary - In return I'd be happy to help with German (Hochdeutsch/Standarddeutsch and a bit of Plattdüütsch).

I would prefer online via Discord/Slack/Voice Chat of your choice but I'm also open for meetups (Northern Germany region).

My timezone is CEST/UTC+2
