Make the Exchange Balanced
If two people are learning different languages, divide the conversation so each person receives useful practice. You might spend part of the session in one language and then switch. The exact timing matters less than making sure one person does not become an unpaid teacher for the entire conversation.
Agree on Corrections
Some learners want immediate corrections while others prefer to finish a thought first. Ask what your partner prefers. A simple approach is to note recurring errors and discuss the most useful ones after a few minutes of natural conversation.
Bring Topics Instead of Scripts
Prepare a few subjects such as travel, food, daily routines, entertainment or local culture. Topics create natural vocabulary without forcing both people to read a fixed script. Our conversation starter guide can help when a session feels quiet.
Explore Language Communities
Start from the Speaky language exchange hub. English learners can also explore English chat resources, while Turkish learners can use our Turkish language exchange guide.
Respect Boundaries
A language partner is not required to share private details or move the conversation to another platform. Keep sensitive information private and read our online safety guide.
