Language Exchange
Language Exchange, Half and Half
Half the time in Vietnamese, half in your language. You both practise, so no one is teaching and no one is being taught.
- Day & Night
- 1-2 hours
- An identity-checked Local Host profile
You set the topics together and keep the time fair. A Language Host is an exchange partner, not a teacher or a tutor. You meet in a public cafe or library and pay for your own drinks.

Included, and not included.
- Your Local Host for the hours you booked, paid in cash on the day
- A patient partner who speaks Vietnamese every day
- A quiet public place to meet, suggested by your Local Host
- Drinks, food and any seat charge, which you pay on the day
- Books, apps or printed material
- Lessons, marking or exam preparation
Safety, helmet and what to wear.
- No vehicle is involved. You each make your own way to the agreed cafe, library or coworking space.
- Whatever is comfortable. Cafes and libraries keep the air conditioning cold, so bring a light layer.
- You are indoors, so rain only affects the journey. Leave a little earlier when it pours.
