How a German to Dutch exchange works.
A German to Dutch language exchange is two people helping each other for free. You speak German and want to practise Dutch; your partner is a native Dutch speaker learning German. You meet in person, talk for about thirty minutes in Dutch and thirty in German, 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 German and are learning Dutch. That is the whole profile setup.
See who is nearby
A map of your city shows Dutch speakers learning German, sorted by distance and when they are free.
Meet and switch halfway
Pick a café. Thirty minutes in Dutch, thirty in German. Same time next week if it clicked.
Practising Dutch as a German speaker.
Open TaalMeet, set German as the language you speak and Dutch as the one you are learning, and the map shows native Dutch speakers nearby who want to learn German. 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 German.
Yes. Your German 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.
