Hello all! I’m looking to practice my German with other German learners or patient native-speakers! I’m at/near the A2 level and am actively studying as much as I can! A huge part of learning a language is writing/speaking to others, however, and - living in Ohio in the U.S., I don’t have much opportunity for that. So I’m looking online!

I’m looking for either: people here who would like to help me practice, or directions to where I might be able to practice with others.

Thanks! :)

    Some websites/apps for finding language exchange partners:

    There might even be more that you can find by googling for “language exchange” or “tandem” etc. (I’m fairly certain that there are some that I saw on Duolingo forums years ago and that aren’t among those mentioned above, but I forgot their names.) Unfortunately I don’t know which ones of them are both working well on a technical level and actually have available tandem partners, but you can probably just try out a few and see if it works out for you. You could also consider starting a lemmy community for finding language exchange partners, but I would guess that there aren’t enough language learners on lemmy yet to make it really work well.

    Depending on where you live, universities or (community) colleges in your area (even if you’re not a student yourself), or possibly a Goethe institute, could also be places where you can find language classes and/or tandem partners.
