Hi, The holy people of Reddit. I'm 11M professional catapult driver in army (Cybele bless MUTAVALLI). I felt in love a woman from Phoenicia during fight against Ramses the Jerk ll. I want to send a cuneiform tablet to her in her language for a proposal. I want to talk with her in Phoenician during our honey moon in Tripolis if I don't die in the next war (Assyria impalemented our ambassador, so we will see). I will be glad If I find a cuneiform buddy. You can send a direct pigeon to me if you interest. Or I can give my smoke signal address. Cybele Bless y'all.

I also know Orkhon Turkic and Mycenaean Greek a little bit, I can help for these languages too.

Welcome to r/language_exchange! 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.

Please share with us any question or suggestion you have to improve the subreddit.

If you want to make a language exchange immediately you can look for a partner through all the post that other users have already made, or make a new one youself. Please do not reply to this post with your exchange, and make a new post with the option "Create Post" on the right sidebar. Follow the guidelines shown below.

Are you learning a new language?

Try to find a partner to practice it with! We all have been in that situation. We have been learning a new language for quite some time but we are not confident enough to use it, either because we make a lot of gramatical errors, our pronounciation is not perfect... But the truth is, these mistake are the best way to learn and improve our fluency.So don't be scare and go for it!

Is your first time doing a language exchange?

You have two possibilities.

You can make a new post following this guideline:

• Title: Please stick to the format "Offering: . Seeking:" / Seeking: . Offering.".

  • This is a rule, so not following it may result in your publication being removed by Automod

• A small introduction about yourself, hobbies you have and any additional details about the languages you are learning, will help you find the perfect partner.

• How do you want to make the exchange. Which social Plataforms would you like to use (discord/whatsapp/telegram...), the schedule to do it if you have one, the way of the exchange (chatting, by voice call, more formal with only text corrections...) or any detail that may be important. IMPORTANT: Be aware that this is a public forum so be careful when you share your personal contact information, do it only through DMs.

Or use the search bar to find someone who is offering the languages you are looking for:

• While you are on the r/Languge_exchange subreddit, introduce on the search bar the language you are looking for. After that, click on "Show results from r/language_exchange", and filter the results by "new".

• You can use the community flairs that we have (Due to reddit flair limitations, it won't show all the results)

Can I offer anything else apart from languages? We are open to let people share any skill or knowledge they may thing it can be usefull for someone else, or that someone else can look for. This may include topics like programming, playing instruments, gaming, friendship... But to keep the subreddit clean, we need you to keep this requests on the body, and avoid using them on the title of the post.

In case anyone is trying to learn Faroese, I would like to try out helping you out. I know there really isn't much material online for learning it, so in case you're learning Faroese and want to practice/get help, just let me know!

hello I'm 21F from Germany and would love to help people with their German. I don't need anything in return but I would be happy finding new friends all around the globe.

My interests are mainly anime, music, photography, cultures, languages and psychology but also various other topics and I'm open to chat about anything.

If you are interested feel free to DM me! :)

Im in my mid twenties, I have been learning for a long time now but currently don't have anyone to practice with

I don't know why this needs to be said, but I've seen many examples lately:

These are cool:

• Offering: Language / Seeking: Language

• Offering: Language / Seeking: Nothing

• Offering: Language / Seeking: Friendship

These are not cool:

• Offering: Nothing / Seeking: Language

• Offering: Friendship / Seeking: Language

I currently am learning Spanish and also I'd like us to become friends!

The presentation I had made will tell you a bit about me before we start chatting.

I have spent more than 3 hours on it and I really hope that it will make you smile :)

Here's the link: I am the link

If you think that I might not read your message or comment, I will, every single one, I promise!

About 2.5 years ago I introduced a bot for this subreddit that paired users together based on their complementary languages. Unfortunately at the time r/language_exchange had no active mods, and without support from the sub operators I turned off the bot in March 2018.

But now that this place has new mods and everything, I was able to recently get permission from the mod team to deploy the bot again. I've completely rewritten the whole script and the way the bot presents information; the only thing it shares with its predecessor is the user account.

How does u/language_exchangeBOT work?

The bot scans new posts as they come in to r/language_exchange and adds the languages mentioned to a database of users. The bot uses the same language-processing components as my bot Ziwen on r/translator.

When a new post on the subreddit comes in, Hermes (formerly Huiban) will post a comment on the post that include the usernames and posts of relevant people who match their exchange criteria. Users are ranked in a table by a relevance score:

• 5 points if the OP and the relevant user match in both a single offered and sought language pair.

  • e.g., OP is offering Arabic and seeking Spanish, and the relevant user is seeking Arabic and offering Spanish.

• 3 points if the relevant user just offers a language that the OP seeks.

  • e.g., OP is offering Arabic and seeking Spanish, and the relevant user is offering Spanish (but not seeking Arabic).

• 2 points if the relevant user is seeking a language that the OP offers.

  • e.g., OP is offering Arabic and seeking Spanish, and the relevant user is seeking Arabic (but not offering Spanish).

These points are cumulative, so if the OP and relevant user match in more than one language then that user will be ranked higher in the results. If there are multiple individuals with the same relevance score, the bot will randomly select up to five users instead.

Unlike the bot's previous incarnation, this bot relies solely on public posts for matching and will not accept private messages. The comments are also written so that they won't ping usernames; the effort is on the OP to reach out to the individuals' posts and get in contact with them to make that exchange.

Notes

• To keep things fresh, matching users must have made a post in the last 90 days to the subreddit. No sense in matching users with the OP of a two-year-old post.

• As the bot is still in testing currently matching is primarily limited to ISO 639-1-listed languages to avoid false positives in code-matching.

Future Ideas

I wrote this bot in the space of a single afternoon/evening, so there are different areas it can improve in, I'm sure. Some ideas for the future I have are:

• Be able to associate "nativity" level with a certain language for a user, possibly give them an extra relevance point for that.

• Support ISO 639-3 only languages like Swiss German, Cantonese, etc. This shouldn't be too hard since Ziwen supports this; I just need to make sure there aren't any false positives.

• Automatically check its database of past posts to see if any are deleted; if so, remove those posts from the database.

I hope people find this bot useful! I welcome any feedback or suggestions.

09-JUL EDIT: We did it! Now we have to start working!

I would like to reuse this post temporally to maintain the proposed ideas and let anyone else to share new ones!

Let's discuss which ideas should we work on first and how should we do it.

Summary:

• Create a new discord server.

• New post format (Offering/seeking), flairs.

• 1 to 1 / group exchange.

• Casual conversation posts.

• Daily topic chat.

• Community banner/icon.

Hi everyone!

I've been lurking in this subreddit for a while and i feel like it has a lot of more potential than it has.

The problem is that the only Mod we have, u/crh, doesn't look active anymore (If so, please let us know please!).

I don't really know if there is any solution to this or just create another subreddit. I've been thinking that with some organization (Weekly presentation/topic posts in different laguanges, a discord server, flags with the languages we seek/teach...) this subreddit can we really useful and enjoyable for anyone.

Learning languages is something that I really enjoy, learning about other cultures thought their languages, be able to communicate with someone from another country... and we don't have a proper place on reddit.

Please everyone, tell me what you thing about that or your ideas.

PD: English is not my first language as you may noticed haha.

" If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." Nelson Mandela.

EDIT: Instead of upvote this post, please make a comment (either positive or negatives) about your thoughts so we can see how many people are truly interested and how many people are active. And also don't be scare to use english even if you don't have a good level, or also you can write it in your native language. We all are here to learn!

EDIT 2: This idea is also because they way we are using this subreddit now. There are way to many posts without organization, and all of them are looking for a 1-1 exchange. The most common problem i've seen in this exchanges is to don't have a topic to talk about or just force one (For me, the timezone difference is also a problem sometimes).

I know that making groups to exchange languages cause another kinds of problems (People may only want to learn, and nobody is teaching), but to have a really good partner to exchange languages, we need to forge some sort or friendship first, or a community in this case.

I think this community is bigger than it seems (17.4k members) because as we are now, because the majority of us just look (and don't have any other choice) for any post for our specific interests, so there is no point to subscribe.

06-JUN EDIT: It gonna take some time to request this sub so until then we just can wait.

11-JUN EDIT: nothing from /r/redditrequest nor the mod yet.

Hi everyone,

I would sincerely invite you to help me out with a project for my fiancee---Make a album from all over the world. The day we love for 1000 days in not far, so I have the idea.

The project is to take a photo with a hand written note with your native language in your city, it could be in front of a landmark, or in the forest and desert, could even in your garden, could be anywhere you like.

I would like to have your wishes all over the world. Note could say: Fen(芬her name), Jun's(俊my name) love for your is so big. It has reached City Country. You could also design the note if you have any idea! I bet she will never forget this gift and you guys are the reason.

Here are the examples.

If you are willing to help, PM me and I will send you my email address. And I will reply all of you fantastic people with my wish with a photo!

Thank you！

Basically just willing to teach my native language to anyone who is willing to learn it. I speak the languages above, but wouldn’t be bad if anyone helps me improve it.

Hello! I am a native english speaker and would love to help someone improve their english. I am not looking for anything in return except for possibly a cool friend. dm me if you are interested!

Edit: I made the comment and tried to respond to everyone and that does not mean I am not accepting more people to chat with! I will help everyone just send me a PM!!!

Edit 2: I have an overwhelming amount of work ahead of me so at this time, I’m not longer accept dms. Good luck!

Hi!! I’m Lexie, 19yo girl from France and I would like to help anyone who wants to learn or improve their French. I’m passionate about languages, so any language in return is fine!! Here’s some I’d like to learn or improve: English, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese... But if your language is not on the list that’s completely fine!! It’s gonna be fun!

I study English and Literature in university, and I’m moving to the UK next year. To be honest, formal conversation makes me a bit uncomfortable, let’s try to be friends and speak casually if that works for you!! We can talk about any subject, I’m curious about pretty much anything. I like art, music, animes, books, tv shows, gaming, and so much more. I’d love to learn more about what you like.

Don’t be shy, you can always Dm me!! To anyone reading this: have a lovely day, or night, and take care.

Hi guys, so I'm back on this sub again haha. Last time I was on here I ran a survey to find out more about what kind of language learners were out there in the world for sample data for a language exchange app my colleagues and I were working on. I want to thank you if you happened to participate in that survey :)

So now, we're doing a social project to test out an algorithm we’ve created for matching you with a language buddy based not only on the language(s) you are learning/teaching but also mutual personal interests. We're looking for participants who are language learners and are interested in getting matched with a language buddy from another part of the world. Who knows what the match could lead to, a lifelong friendship, a reason to visit another country, a job opportunity, or even just a quality chat.

The sign-up for this project will last one week until February 17th and we will only find matches for the first 100 participants who sign up. On February 19th, we will personally email you your assigned language buddy match!

If you think you'd be interested, head to the link above to sign-up. Again, thanks for your time and support and we look forward to helping you in finding the perfect language buddy match!

Lately I've been thinking about doing a Twitch stream where I would going to help people learn German. Would this make sense?

I'm no teacher or sth, but just an Austrian guy who likes languages. I know that German can be very hard to learn and that's why I would like to help. So I thought in the stream you can ask me your questions and I'd try to answer them as good as I can. I think the great thing would also be that you could profit from each others questions as well. If you guys would be interested I'm seriously thinking about doing this, or at least give it a try one time.

Please let me know what you think.

Hello. Dia dhuit. Helo.

I’m 16 (m) from Ireland and I am very interested in learning the Celtic languages. I already speak Irish and this is making Scottish Gaelic and Manx a lot easier, but Welsh is not as easy as it’s not similar to Irish, but I love the Welsh language and I would love to speak to someone who can speak the language. I’m a complete beginner still but I still love it and I would love to get good at it.

If you speak Welsh and would like to help or if you’re interested in doing Irish, send me a message. Maybe we can revive the Celtic langurs.

Thank you. Go raibh maith agat. Diolch.

Im a software engineer， I want to learning Englist plz

I am looking to brush up my conversational skills in Spanish, and I am a English speaker so I can help you with that. And please give me an upvote if possible, because I can't text other users who can be helpful to me due to low karma.

Hi! Nice to meet you! 🇯🇵
I’m a 24-year-old Japanese woman.
I’ve lived in Japan my whole life, and I’ve never been abroad.

Things in my life have become a little calmer recently, so I thought I’d like to start learning English.

I’m REALLY, REALLY new to English. I’m actually using a translator to write this post. 😂

But I understand things like:
“I have a pen. I have an apple.” ✒️🍎
😏 That’s about my level! I only know very simple words and sentences.

I’d like to meet people who are learning Japanese and help each other learn our languages.

I’m not looking for super serious studying. I’d rather talk about everyday life, your thoughts and experiences, anime, manga, movies, and other things we enjoy. I’d be happy if we could become friends along the way!

A little about me:

I’m a very introverted person.
I like anime and manga, such as Demon Slayer, One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen. I also like movies and TV shows, especially things like the MCU, Studio Ghibli, and Star Wars.

I think I know quite a lot of popular Japanese anime, manga, movies, and shows, so hopefully we’ll have something to talk about!

Honestly, this is my first time trying to learn a language through a language exchange, so I’m a little nervous.

I’m worried about my English and my ability to learn, but… I’ll give it a try. Life is about taking on new challenges!

Thank you for reading this far.

I’d love to talk with someone from a faraway country and become friends. Feel free to message me! 😊

こんにちは、はじめまして！

私は日本人の24歳女性です。
生まれてからずっと日本に住んでいでいて、海外には一度も行ったことありません。

人生がちょっと落ち着いたので、英語を勉強したいと考えています。

英語は本当に本当に初心者で、これも翻訳機で書いてる。
でも「I have a pen.I have an apple.✒️🍎」ぐらいは分かるよ😏！本当にそれぐらいの簡単な単語と文だけど！笑

日本語を勉強している方と交流して、お互いの言語を教え合えたら良いなと考えています。
ガチガチの勉強というより、日常会話や貴方の人生観、アニメや漫画などの趣味を通して、友達になれたら嬉しいです！

私について

極めて内向的な人間と言えます。
アニメや漫画(鬼滅の刃、ワンピース、呪術廻戦など)、映画、ドラマ(MCU、ジブリ、スターウォーズなど)が好き。有名なやつは結構知っていると思います。

正直、こういう言語交換で勉強するのは初めてで緊張しています。
自分の英語能力や学習能力が不安だけど……頑張ってみるよ。人生はチャレンジ！

ここまで読んでくれてありがとう。
遠い国の友人と話すのが楽しみです！ぜひ連絡してね！

P.S. 2026/08/09
Hey! I honestly never expected to get this many reactions.
To be honest, I’m a little overwhelmed!
(Whoa, there’s a huge demand for Japanese! ^_^ 🇯🇵)
I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with all the messages, so I’m going to close my DMs. Sorry!
Thank you so much to all my new friends! You guys are awesome! 😊
追伸
やあ！こんなに沢山の反応を貰えるとは思っていませんでした。
正直、とても困惑しています。
(日本語の需要すげえ！^_^🇯🇵)
対応しきれないと思うのでプライベートチャットは閉じます。ごめんなさい！
沢山の友人たち、どうもありがとうね〜！

2 years ago I went through my first language training arc, became the best englishing dude in my entire village, and was able to avenge my father! And tho I was happy, deep down I knew... Happy endings never really last.... Turns out if you don't use your language skills they'll vanish! I KNOW, RIGHT?!

So now i’m looking for a native English speaker to pratice talking. I don't care if you're a toilet cleaning manager, akward student or a part of an elite team of degenerates that teaches innocent communist boys bad words just cause they wanna watch the world burn! As long as you're a native speaker you are my best friend in the whole goddamn world and I can't wait to talk to you!

In terms of hobbies and interests, I can't offer much. On my way to becoming an old and decrepit 29-year-old, I've rejected everything human in me and turned into a "work-go home-sleep-go to work" robot. BUT! I can hype up YOUR hobbies! Whether it's watching anime, desperate attempts to become a valuable member of society, or maybe how selling questionable substances is actually a calling for entrepreneurship! Doesn’t matter! I'm VERY open-minded!

So yeah, hurry up and slide into my DMs!

I am Deaf and am willing to help folks practice ASL.

A few things about me:

• I'm 30.

• Live in Toronto, Canada - GMT-5 and GMT-4 time zone depending on when you're seeing this post.

• Computer programmer (as in passion and in credential), social justice activist, gamer

• I can't speak.

• My disabilities: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Deaf. Powerchair user.

• I'm Muslim.

We can use video chat for conversation like Zoom.

Hallo! I run a server for people wanting to learn German and speak/text with other people. We have a few members, but we want more to speak with! Feel free to comment to get a link, we look forward to speaking with you!

I've been a mod on r/translator for four years, and during this time my bot Wenyuan has been able to collect four years' worth of statistics. Now that u/language_exchangeBOT is back up and running, I thought I'd share some statistics on what languages have been offered and sought over the last month or so, just like I regularly do on the other sub.

Overall

• Number of posts in database: 1,567

• Unique Languages Offered: 68

• Unique Languages Sought: 65

Offered Languages

Sought Languages

Romansh is Switzerland's 4th national languages, spoken by about 50'000 people currently. I'd love to help anyone who wants to learn it, I can send you resources that I have for grammar and reading or we can just chat. Despite the language being so small it's been rising in popularity among the younger speakers and I'm delighted to see that a few non native people are even trying to learn it! I'm C2 in german and english and looking for someone who can help me with my Russian in the future (I've only just started a few months ago and need to get a bit further for chatting to make sense)
