Swap languages over a coffee in De Pijp or on a walk along the Amstel. TaalMeet is coming to Amsterdam: join the waitlist and be first in line.
How it works in Amsterdam.
A big city needs a partner who lives close by. When Amsterdam opens, the map keeps your matches within a bike ride.
Pick your languages
Choose the language you speak and the one you want to practise. Dutch, English, French or any of 130+ languages.
See who is nearby
Browse the map by neighbourhood, from De Pijp and the Jordaan to Oost, West and Noord, so your partner is never across town.
Meet for 30 minutes
Pick a terrace, a bench in the Vondelpark or a table at the library and swap languages face to face. Half and half, then a coffee.
A city that speaks two languages at once.
Amsterdam draws students, creatives and tech workers from everywhere, and many Amsterdammers already juggle two or three languages. Taalcafés around the Jordaan and the terraces of De Pijp have long been where locals and internationals mix. TaalMeet wants to make that one to one and close to home.

Language exchange in Amsterdam: questions.
Not yet. TaalMeet started in The Hague and opens city by city, in the order the waitlists fill up. Download the app and we will tell you when Amsterdam opens.
Pick somewhere public and easy to reach. The OBA Oosterdok library near Centraal, the cafés of De Pijp and the Jordaan, or a walk through the Vondelpark or along the Amstel all work well.
Yes. The app is free on iPhone and Android, joining the waitlist costs nothing and there is no subscription.
Not quite. A taalcafé is a group evening with many people at one table. TaalMeet matches you with one partner near you for a short, regular chat, so you get more speaking time. The two combine nicely.
