Language exchange in Delft.
Swap a DM for a real chat on the Markt or a coffee near campus. TaalMeet is coming to Delft, so join the waitlist and hear first when it opens.
How it works in Delft.
Delft is small enough that any meetup is a quick bike ride. Here is how a swap will work once the city opens.
Pick your languages
Pick the languages you speak and the ones you are learning. Dutch, German, English or any of 130+ languages.
See who is nearby
See partners around the Centrum, the TU Delft campus, Wippolder, Hof van Delft or Tanthof, never more than a few minutes by bike.
Meet for 30 minutes
Meet between lectures or after the lab and talk half the time in each language. A short break that actually improves your Dutch.

A small city with a global campus.
Delft mixes a historic centre with one of Europe's best known technical universities, which means students, PhD researchers and staff from all over the world. Many of them want to speak Dutch beyond the basics, and locals are glad to trade for English or German. TaalMeet wants to make that swap easy to set up.
