TANDEMcity, your Language Exchange Community

TANDEMcity is a virtual city for language and culture sharing. The TANDEMcity community includes people from all around the world interested in language exchange and language learning. TANDEMcity provides you with state-of-the-art, easy to use tools to help you learn and practice foreign languages while sharing your mother tongue, meeting people, and having fun.

TANDEMcity is brought to you by TANDEM® International, a network of independent language schools of England, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Chile. All the TANDEM International Member Schools have adopted the TANDEM Method, developed by the TANDEM Foundation, which means that all schools place special emphasis on the cultural integration of their students, through facilitating language exchange with native speakers.

TANDEM Language Exchange

The TANDEM language exchange is the best way of improving your language skills and achieving fluency.

Practice a foreign language with your native speaker TANDEM partner, who in turn wants to learn your native language. This is the best way of practicing your second language, learning about the cultural aspects related to that language and building up worldwide friendship.

Find your TANDEM Partners by searching the TANDEMcity database. Just look for those who want to learn your native language and whose native language is the one you want to practice. You will then meet with your TANDEM partners online and help each other practice and learn the languages you are interested in.

Furthermore, if you would like to find an onsite TANDEM language exchange partner, just do a search including the city where you live in the search criteria.

Improve your writing skills through a TANDEM Language Exchange

You can improve your writing skills in the language you are learning, and get acquainted with someone you want to exchange conversation with, by exchanging Private Messages through TANDEMcity or by chatting with your TANDEM Partners.
