Language exchange websites (we also call themย conversation exchange, chat exchange or speaking exchange websites) are a fantastic idea for language learners. You can study a foreign languageย completely for freeย AND make friends with native English speakers at the same time!
However, once you get started itโs almost impossible to stop. It can get quite addictive, especially if you make many new friends who want to talk to you every day!
Many of you have asked me whether I know of anyย good language exchange communities, where you can practice conversing in English with native speakers. The majority of those who asked me, come from countries in Asia and Europe. Here on the blog, via email and on our Facebook page.
Thank you for this. And Iโd like to encourage you to continue asking me questionsย โ whenever you would like to ask something about Englishย or have anย opinion, please share it with me.
So, here are the 10 most popular language exchange communities, composed of the sites youโd voted for as the best all week, plusย some that I feel deserve to be on this list, based on my own personal experiences.

I thought you were going to mention โitalkiโ. Thatโs the best one for me and a very popular one. It works wonder. Iโve been using it for years. I love to try new things. Iโve heard and tried some of the websites you listed, and some others are new. The worst one is โEasy Language Exchangeโ โ my experience โ Very bad interface and users are allowed setting pornographic profile pictures.
I believe back then when I was collecting these websites, italki wasnโt a language exchange service. They offered tutoring. But, Iโm glad youโve mentioned it. And thank you so much for your feedback on Easy Language Exchange.
