Tandem
The language learning app where millions of people teach each other.

Tandem is a language exchange app that connects users with native speakers around the world to practice foreign languages together. Users can communicate via text, voice notes, audio or video calls, and take advantage of in-app correction and translation tools. The platform pairs learners with complementary language goals so each partner can teach their native language while learning the other's.
Users sign up, find a language exchange partner filtered by language, location, and interests, then practice together using text, voice, or video with built-in correction and translation tools.
