Meta (READ THIS FIRST) Welcome to r/language_exchange! [Meta/General Discussion Thread]
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 (native, England), German (Swiss German) Seeking: German, Anything
Hello there :) I had quite some success on here last year, meeting really interesting people, so thought I'd try again.
I love languages and can say a few words in at least 10+ languages (but I'm really only fluent in 2). During my post-grad, I took a course in computational linguistics, so got quite good at analysing accents, speech patterns, etc. So perhaps I can help you to sound more fluent with your English or German, or we can just talk!
Hope to hear from you!

Offering English Offering: English(Native), Polish(C1) Seeking: Russian(A2), French(B1) (+Friendship)
Hello everyone, I'm a 23 y o guy from the US living in France right now. I speak enough French to get by, but I'd really like to be able to connect with the country more deeply by actually being able to hold conversations. Alternatively, I listen to so much Russian music that I feel like I really should learn the language if only to start understanding songs, so anyone who has some recommendations from the Russian punk/rock scene and who also wants to be my language partner would also be cool.

Offering Mandarin Offering Mandarin | Seeking English
Hi everyone!
I'm a 24yr native Mandarin speaker from China looking for a native English speaker to speak with long-term (e.g., weekly video sessions and regular chats)
A bit about me: I'm currently living in Ireland. I did my bachelor's in English literature, and I'm passionate about learning languages. Aside from English, I know a bit of French, Italian, and German. I value sincerity, respect, and genuine conversations. I’d also appreciate constructive and well-meaning feedback when I make mistakes (hopefully you'll appreciate the same).
While I’m confident in English listening, reading, and writing, I’d love to improve my fluency in daily English speaking. I’m more than happy to help you learn Mandarin in return :)
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with a little about yourself and your expectations. Looking forward to learning together!

Offering Arabic Offering: Arabic (native) Seeking: German/Russian/Italian/Nordic languages (beginner level)
Hello, I am a native Arabic speaker looking to learn a 3rd language, however, I have found that most books fail to explain how language works grammatically, and functionally, so I'd like to learn one of these languages from the ground up, and also learn their grammar.
I also want to teach my own language, to anyone who's interested, as I think more people should learn this beautiful language!

Hey! I’m an English speaker, native, from the west coast of the US. I’m looking to practice my French. I’m 32 M, I took French lessons in high school, and I could probably get by in French, though I would not say I’m very good at all, hence why I’m here. I love French culture, and hope to do a work exchange there soon. I enjoy art, music, movies, chess, and Formula 1. I also have Discord is that’s easier to use.
