i am always looking for ways to improve my french. it’s always hard to find fellow french learners. especially those who are willing to practice with you. this year i want to improve my written french and was so excited last week to come across this app!
what is it?
tandem is the perfect way to connect with speakers of many languages around the world. through this app you can connect with language learners everywhere. it didn’t take me very long to set up my account. within a few minutes i had several conversations going with french speakers all around the world!
what i particularly enjoy about the app is that your partner can easily correct what you are writing. you even have the ability send voice memos if you’d like to practice speaking or speak via calls (video and audio). you can check in someone’s profile to learn about them, their interests and what they are looking to get out of tandem. i really like that you are not limited to starting with small talk. having the few talking points to get you started really helps. that way you get to practice speaking about topics you are not as comfortable with. and also get to skip all the small talk. the app also has a handy translate feature in case you get stuck.
tandem also has the option of meeting language learners in real life. through tandem pro they help to connect you with fellow learners in your area.
how to sign up
you can download the app in the App store or on Google Play. you can also access Tandem through a computer.
