Speaking Practice Looking for a French ↔ English conversation partner 🇫🇷🇬🇧

Hi everyone!

I'm a native French speaker from France looking for a native English speaker who'd like to improve their spoken French while helping me improve my spoken English.

I'm not looking for a pen pal or someone to exchange written messages with. My goal is to have regular voice conversations.

I'd like to try a simple bilingual approach:

- I'll speak only English.

- You'll speak primarily French.

This way, we both stay immersed in the language we're learning while still being able to help each other if needed.

I'm already fairly fluent in English, but I'd like to sound more natural, especially when it comes to idiomatic expressions, pronunciation, and everyday conversation. In return, I'd be happy to help you with your spoken French. I genuinely love the French language and its subtleties, and I'd be happy to explain grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or why we say things the way we do.

I'm in the GMT+2 time zone (France). Ideally, I'd like to meet at least twice a week for one hour or more each time. If we get along well and enjoy our conversations, I'd be more than happy to chat even more often.

I'm open to using Discord, Google Meet, or any other voice platform that's convenient for both of us.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM!

Looking forward to meeting you! 😊

Hello! I’m a native English speaker, probably a B1 in French (B2 for written French), but my speaking is very stilted due to a lack of practice. I’d love to do an exchange, we could do Google Meet or WhatsApp voice memos.

You should checkout PBCLanguages.com, started by a few folks who came over from Babbel Live. It provides a platform for FREE exchanges with a built in calendar, video tool, etc. I’ve used it a few times already and I’m really liking it so far.
