How to practice a
language for free
with language exchange sites
Language exchange websites provide one of the most
effective and efficient methods to practice speaking.
You just need to sign up with one of the online
communities to connect with people from around the
world who, like yourself, want to learn a language.
In this presentation, you will find the best exchange
sites to practice a language.
How do exchange websites work?
iTalki
PROS
◇ European-based self-
evaluation system: A1, A2,
B1, B2, C1 and C2
◇ Nice graphics
◇ Useful search engine
CONS
◇ You have to send friend
requests and wait for them to
be accepted in order to
begin.
◇ The site does not have its
own video-conferencing
service, so you have to use
Skype.
iTalki is an online platform where you can find international
teachers.
Hello Talk
PROS
◇ Conveniently stored on your
smartphone, saving you time
◇ Provides a nice messaging
system and a solid
translation and correction
feature

usage
CONS
◇ Finding active partners can
take time (depending on the
time of day and target
languages)
◇ Doesn’t work as well with
iPads and tablets
◇ It can take some time to get
used to the interface
Hello Talk is an language exchange application that allows
you to practice a language from your smartphone.
Conversation
Exchange
PROS
◇ Being able to search for
partners based on the
exchange method (if you
want to speak, it's pointless
to find somebody who just
wants to write letters
◇ Convenient and quick site
CONS
◇ It doesn't support video chat
(but you can use Skype).
◇ It's hard to tell if a user is
connected or not.
◇ To begin speaking with
somebody else, you first
need to exchange a few
messages.
Conversation Exchange allows you to practice a language
through video chat, voice chat or just instant messaging
.
Shared Talk
PROS
◇ The list of potential language
partners is pre-filtered
according to your individual
needs
◇ Integrated voice chat: View
the list of available people
via the Voice Chat menu
CONS
◇ Bland graphics
Shared Talk is a platform that lets you choose your
preferences and how to use the site.
We strongly recommend Italki. It’s
one of the most effective websites
to practice a language. Italki is
easy to use, clear and efficient.
All you have to do is sign up for
one of these online language
communities to begin interacting
with people all over the world,
who, like yourself, want to learn a
second language.
Also, Italki gives you the
possibility to participate in a group
class on a specific subject and
offers you high-quality materials
to help you study.
