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!

What’s New
Version 7.0.2
New on Tandem: our next-gen chat experience.
We’ve integrated a whole bunch of AI features to help improve you and your language partner’s conversations and get your language skills to new heights.
With Word Finder, you can easily search for the right word to say next (say bye bye to the language barrier!). Grammar Check fixes mistakes in your message drafts to help you build your language skills brick by brick. Inspire gives you endless conversation ideas — so the chatting never dries out and you can practice to your heart’s content.
… And there’s even more for you to discover inside the app! All of our AI tools were designed mindfully, ensuring that humans are - and always will be - at the centre of language learning.
Ratings and Reviews
Decent app and does what it says
I’m practicing French and helping others with English, it’s pretty cool. That said, the app is structured weirdly similar to a dating app… why would I want to pay to see who’s seen my profile? Kinda weird if you ask me. There isn’t a matching system though, so you can just talk to whoever you see online there.
I’m not quite sure the wait in line for invite thing does anything - I got approved within 30 minutes. I suppose they might just be vetting for bots or banned users? I have no idea.
I don’t recall ands, which is great! The app has some great integrated features too, like correcting your partner’s sentence or translating it, both directly in the chat with an easy to use UI. There’s a limit for the translation that’s locked behind a paid wall, but tbh it’s understandable as they have to make money somehow. I would’ve preferred if that specific feature was completely free, but I get it.
Overall, nice app, just structured weirdly similar to a dating app like Coffee Meets Bagel or something.
Great app!
Okay, so they require our FB info just like every other unpaid service. Within minutes I was connected yes to 5+ ppl and a week later my inbox is full - I can't keep up!
5 stars once unlimited translations come through.
Ruined by ads
I used to enjoy this app as a great way to practice languages and chat with natives. Sadly it has been ruined by constant ads when searching for people to talk with.
