What is the Language Exchange Facebook App?

The goal of the Language Exchange app is to help you learn a foreign language by connecting you with people you can learn with. When you start out, you enter which language you want to learn, how much time you want to spend on learning, and what you current proficiency level is. Language Exchange then connects you with someone in order to teach you the language. Ideally, that other person can teach you another language in return. For example, you want to learn Spanish and someone from Mexico wants to learn English. That would be an awesome match. However, right now the demand for Spanish learners exceed the supply for Spanish teachers.

Which leads me to Language Exchange’s next feature. The app provides a list of the supply and demand for different languages. That way you can see where your services are needed and where you could probably find someone to teach you a language.

After you’ve found a partner, you all get together either in person or by phone/Skype to practice your speaking skills. Pretty cool.

Language Exchange Pros

• Learn a foreign language for free!
• Connect with someone you can SPEAK with. Speaking a foreign language is the best way to learn it.
• Lots of languages to choose from

Language Exchange Cons

• Not many users. There aren’t enough people using it, so it limits the language you can learn. There also seems to be a dearth of people to TEACH languages.
