Language exchange in Vienna.
Practise German at a Kaffeehaus table instead of in a chat thread. TaalMeet opens city by city, and the Vienna waitlist is open now.
How it works in Vienna.
Vienna already has the perfect setting: coffee houses where nobody rushes you out. TaalMeet adds the partner.
Pick your languages
Say what you speak and what you are learning. German, English, Turkish or any of 130+ languages.
See who is nearby
When Vienna opens, the map will show people in the Innere Stadt, Neubau, Ottakring or your own Bezirk, so meeting up does not mean crossing the city.
Meet for 30 minutes
Order a Melange, talk for fifteen minutes in each language and see if you want to meet again. Half an hour, no pressure, no dating.

Coffee house culture, two languages per table.
Vienna is home to UN offices, universities and people who arrived from all over Europe and beyond. Many of them are working on their German, from Deutschkurs grammar to understanding a Viennese waiter, and plenty of locals would gladly trade some conversation for English or another language.

Language exchange in Vienna: questions.
Not yet. TaalMeet started in The Hague and opens city by city, in the order the waitlists fill up. Download the app and we will tell you when Vienna opens.
Anywhere public and calm. A traditional Kaffeehaus in the first district, the Hauptbücherei by Urban Loritz Platz, the courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier, or a walk in the Augarten or along the Donaukanal are all good choices.
Yes. The app is free on iPhone and Android and there is no subscription. The Vienna waitlist is free as well.
Both. Viennese use their own words, such as Paradeiser for tomato and Jause for a snack, and slip into dialect when relaxed, but everyone understands standard German. A Sprachtandem partner from Vienna helps you with the textbook version and the everyday one.
