How an English to French exchange works.
An English to French language exchange is two people helping each other for free. You speak English and want to practise French; your partner is a native French speaker learning English. You meet in person, talk for about thirty minutes in French and thirty in English, and nobody pays anyone. TaalMeet finds that partner in your own city, so the chat is only there to pick a café.
New to this? Our guide to language exchange explains how a first meeting works and how to split the time.
Set your pair
Tell the app you speak English and are learning French. That is the whole profile setup.
See who is nearby
A map of your city shows French speakers learning English, sorted by distance and when they are free.
Meet and switch halfway
Pick a café. Thirty minutes in French, thirty in English. Same time next week if it clicked.
Practising French as an English speaker.
Open TaalMeet, set English as the language you speak and French as the one you are learning, and the map shows native French speakers nearby who want to learn English. Message them, pick a café, and meet. The app is live in The Hague (Den Haag) now, and every other city has a free waitlist.

No. Beginners often get more out of an exchange than advanced learners, because everyday small talk is exactly what they need to practise. Keep the first meetup short, bring ten phrases you want to try, and ask your partner to slow down. You are giving them the same patience in English.
Yes. Your English is the payment. TaalMeet is free to download and free to use for matching and meeting up. There is no tutor fee and no subscription needed to find a partner.
