Language Exchange

Practise the language over a good coffee.

Swap languages, or work quietly side by side, with a Language Host who enjoys it as much as you do.

A Language Host is a conversation partner. They are not a teacher, a tutor or an exam instructor.

Cafés, libraries, coworking spaces and managed study rooms only, or a video call. Our booking system does not accept homes, hotel rooms or other private rooms.

Choose a session.

Then choose the Language Host you would like to talk with.
