Language exchange in London.
Trade your English for Spanish, French or Portuguese with someone in your part of London, over a coffee rather than a chat thread. Join the waitlist today.
How it works in London.
London is big, so the right partner is the one on your side of town. Three steps, once London opens.
Pick your languages
Tell us what you speak and what you are learning. English and Spanish, French and English, or any of 130+ languages.
See who is nearby
Look for partners near home or work, whether that is Shoreditch, Camden, Brixton or around the South Bank, so meeting fits into a normal week.
Meet for 30 minutes
Pick a café or a bench by the river and swap languages face to face. Half the time in one language, half in the other.

One city, every accent.
London has no shortage of language cafés and Meetup groups, but the faces change every week. TaalMeet is built for the steady one to one partner you meet after work or at the weekend, close enough that it becomes a habit.

Busy, public and relaxed is best. The British Library at King's Cross, the Southbank Centre, the cafés around Granary Square, or a walk in Regent's Park or on Hampstead Heath all make easy first meetings.
