Quick snapshot of Speaky
Speaky is a no-cost language exchange app for iPhone that links you with learners worldwide. It supports more than 110 languages and hosts users from over 180 countries. If you prefer to practice on a computer, you can also sign in through the website.
How the exchange works
The app uses a peer-to-peer learning approach: you help someone study your native tongue by practicing and kindly correcting their errors, and they return the favor. You and your partner decide how to structure sessions — chat, voice, or written practice — and set the pace that suits you both.
