Language exchange in Barcelona.
Find someone in Gràcia or El Born to swap Spanish, Catalan or English with, over a café con leche. TaalMeet is coming to Barcelona, so join the waitlist.
How it works in Barcelona.
The intercambio bar scene is lively but scattered. Once Barcelona opens, you can skip the guesswork in three steps.
Pick your languages
Pick what you speak and what you want to learn. Spanish, Catalan, English, French or any of 130+ languages.
See who is nearby
See partners close to you in El Born, Gràcia, Poblenou or the Eixample, so your intercambio is a short walk from home.
Meet for 30 minutes
Meet on a plaça terrace or stroll the Rambla del Poblenou, switching languages halfway through.

Two local languages, one open table.
In Barcelona, Catalan and Spanish share the same street, and visitors who stay a while often want to learn both. TaalMeet is built for the partner you meet regularly, not the one-off event you only hear about by chance.

Choose a public, easy spot. A branch of the Biblioteques de Barcelona, the terraces on Plaça del Sol or Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia, the Parc de la Ciutadella or a walk along the Barceloneta seafront all work well.
