Significance of language exchange
Hello! I study Italian on my own and work as a translator using Italian. However, even though I learned by myself, it is clear that I got a lot of help from the natives. It’s a waste to not use it in the days when the Internet was developed. Not only can I learn languages from native speakers, but I can also learn about culture, history, and land, and of course I can teach foreigners about my native language, Japanese and Japan. By doing so, you will deepen your understanding of Japan and the Japanese language, and you will be able to reconsider your life from a different perspective. Language exchange gives us that possibility.
When looking for a foreign lover
The apps introduced here are for language exchange only, but it’s not uncommon to have a romantic relationship with someone you meet in a place like this. Of course, you should avoid using it for obvious encounter purposes, but there is always such a possibility. It is also possible to become a lover from a friend. However, if you want to be sure to meet in a short period of time, you should use an app made for that purpose.
- hello talk
This app is very famous and is probably the best application to use to get to know foreigners and learn a foreign language. Even free members can use basic functions. I’ve been a free member for a long time, but I’m not inconvenienced. You can also become a paid member if you want to enhance your partner search or have unlimited translations within the app. Users who want to meet people are quickly eliminated, and it is a safe environment for those who want to exchange languages. However, I know several couples I met and dating on hello talk.
- tandem
This is a similar site, but the design of the app is more beautiful, and I get the impression that there are many active users. That’s because, for example, if I’m a Japanese who wants to learn Italian, I can mainly get to know “Italian who wants to learn Japanese” in hello talk, while I can get to know “Italian-speaking person” in tandem. .. This app also has a paid membership function, but even free members can fully use it.
- Slowly
This app is recommended for people who want to correspond abroad but don’t want to know their address and it costs money. Write a letter online like a pen pal and it will reach the other person in about a day. Therefore, the messages sent at one time are relatively long. Then, you will receive a message from the other party over a period of about one day. This app is free to use. There is a charge for purchasing stamps, but you can use stamps for free. However, if you want to use fashionable stamps with high design, you will be charged.

- Speaky
This app is similar to the first two I introduced, but it seems to be relatively casual and has a lot of users for meeting purposes. It seems that there are many users from Africa and the Middle East. Not many users come from Europe or North America. Many users are not very active, but some use it on a daily basis. However, the headquarters seems to be in Belgium. Not many Italian-speaking users.

- conversation exchange
This site has a lot of older users and runs on the site rather than the app. Other users will see your nickname, including where you live, if you wish. Therefore, it is relatively easy to find a user who is close to your place of residence, and you can actually meet and learn a language. It has more user search function than the app written above. All features are available free of charge. You will need your email address to register.

- easy language exchange
It’s cleaner, more sophisticated, and easier to use than the site I wrote in 5. However, it seems that there are many users for the purpose of meeting and many unpleasant advertisements. It seems that more than 70,000 people from more than 50 countries are participating, but this scale is much smaller than the first two applications. This site also has no app and works only on the site, so I get the impression that there are many elderly people. All features are available free of charge.

- meetup
The purpose of this app is to meet and hold various events, but there are also events that are aimed at language exchange. Budgets vary by event, and some are online. However, the type of event that you actually meet is concentrated in the city, so if you live in the countryside, it will be difficult to participate.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to meet wonderful friends and lovers and improve your language skills by exchanging languages.
