Lesson 5: The Top 10 Language Exchange Websites to Help You Speak English Fluently

Hi! What a wonderful day it is!

Let's stick to great websites and take a look at some free opportunities to practice English speaking!

Lesson 5: The Top 10 Language Exchange Websites to Help You Speak English Fluently

Language exchange websites are a fantastic opportunity for all, a challenge. You can learn languages completely for free and talk to native speakers.

You won't be able to stop after the first session!

Many, MANY English learners have asked me whether I know some good language exchange websites where you can practise English with native speakers.

Thank you for this. And I'd like to encourage you to continue asking - whenever you have a question or an opinion, please always share it with me.

So, here are the 10 language exchange communities, composed of the sites you voted for, and the ones I believe shouldn't be left out, based on my own personal experience.

1. Easy Language Exchange

Easy Language Exchange makes language learning available and free for all. They provide all the essential tools to make languages easy for you. Practise to read, write and speak with natives.

Although the website is new, you will find many people there. The founders are nice people and you will be in good company.

2. Coeffee.com

The friendly language exchange community. The website is absolutely amazing. Besides the main reason we are here (language exchange), you will also be able to play games to improve your vocabulary and pronunciation. Test yourself and, of course, share the results with your friends.

By the way, FRIENDS, are on the background image. Always with you! :)

3. LingoGlobe

LingoGlobe.com is a free Language Exchange Community. Learn and practise foreign languages with native speakers. Discuss on the Lingo Globe language forum or even a live chat.

4. italki

italki is a language learning social network that connects students and language teachers. You can find language exchange partners, practise speaking a foreign language, ask questions, find free online language resources, and get help from an international community of language learners.

italki has been here for a while and has become one of the most popular language exchange communities in the world.

5. Verbling

Verbling lets language learners instantly connect with native speakers around the world through live video.

Right now on Verbling you can learn languages like English, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Russian.

6. busuu.com

Busuu.com is one of the biggest language exchange communities out there.

7. Language Exchange - Eslteachersboard.com

Now, this is an advertising board where you can place your ad and quickly find a language exchange partner. It doesn't look as beautiful as some of the other websites above, but believe me, you will get what you're looking for.

8. Language Exchange Project

This is a personal project by a Polish guy called Greg. @LangExchange. His website works really well. The community is live and has a personal touch, I loved his other projects as well.

9. MyLanguageExchange.com

Practise and learn foreign languages with native speakers via email, text chat, voice chat or meet up for face to face conversation exchange. There are millions of registered members!

10. Conversation Exchange

Through Conversation Exchange you get a few different types of language exchange options. Face to face conversation by meeting up with native speakers, correspondence (pen-pal), text and voice chat.

Practice English for free! And I'm looking forward to your comments: which website is your favourite, which ones you like or dislike, and why.
