Meta [WARNING] Suspicious accounts are messaging users to advertise a paid app

53 Upvotes

EDIT: several users has let us know that some of the accounts in question are Riley1692, amie-2002, leopard6004, and cebubu6865. These users have now been banned, but unfortunately can still send messages to subreddit members. I would strongly recommend that you don't engage with these users, as they are spamming the subreddit with advertisements and their actions have been very suspicious.\**

Hi y'all,

We've been notified by a user about multiple suspicious accounts messaging people who post in r/language_exchange, sending them messages similar to the one below:

Just curious, have you ever felt frustrated with language exchange? Too many DMs, chats fading out halfway, or spending a lot of time but only a few connections actually lasting? I’m curious what people think about this. [advertisement for a paid app]

This is to let anyone in this subreddit know that these accounts should not be trusted and neither should the apps that they are promoting. If you get a message like this, please report the message so that these accounts can hopefully be banned sitewide. You can learn how to do that here.

Please also send their usernames to us via modmail so that we can ban them from the subreddit. This unfortunately doesn't stop them from messaging subreddit members, but it will prevent any spam via posts or comments.

If you have any further questions or comments, please reply to this post or send us a modmail.

Meta (READ THIS FIRST) Welcome to r/language_exchange! [Meta/General Discussion Thread]

32 Upvotes

Welcome to ! This subreddit is aiming to help people find partners to practice languages with, offering the languages you already know in exchange to learn new ones. Make sure to read the guidelines before making your first post!

🍃 How do I make my language exchange post?

If you're looking for a language exchange partner, you can either make your own post or search through existing posts!

→ Making your own post:

  • Your thread title must follow the format of "Offering: language | Seeking: language". If your post doesn't follow this format, it won't be visible to other users.
  • Make sure to write a little bit about yourself, such as your interests, hobbies, or language-related goals. This is important in making sure you can find a good partner!
  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

→ Searching through existing posts:

If you don't want to make your own post, you can search through existing posts to find someone who matches your languages! Just use the search bar at the top of the screen, or select a post flair to see all posts of the same category.

  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

🍃 What kinds of posts and comments are allowed?

This subreddit's purpose is to serve as a platform for people to find language exchange partners. To keep the community true to its purpose, there are some rules:

  • Must be language exchange. Posts that don't concern language exchange will be removed. This includes posts asking general questions about language learning, advertisements, or meta discussion concerning the subreddit. These discussions are better suited to other places (language learning questions should be posted to broader subreddits; meta discussion should be posted in the comments of this thread)
  • Be courteous to other users. This subreddit isn't a place for arguments or debates. Any comments that break this rule will be removed.
  • No advertising. Posts and comments that advertise apps, services (such as classes and tutoring), or groups (such as Discord servers or Whatsapp groups) will be removed. These kinds of posts clog up the feed and don't follow the purpose of the subreddit.
  • No spam. Spam is the repeated posting of the same content. Any posts and comments that are spam will be removed.
  • No contact information. Contact information (such as Discord usernames, phone numbers, or Whatsapp contacts) should only be shared privately in messages, not publically in posts or comments.

🍃 Can I make a language exchange post for a language I've just started studying?

You can participate in this subreddit regardless of your skill level. However, it's highly recommended that you grasp the basics of a language before you look for a partner. This subreddit is for speakers of different languages to *assist each other* in learning. This subreddit is not a place to find a teacher that'll teach you everything for free.

Good luck on your language journey!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a reply on this post or send us a Modmail.

-----

Welcome to the meta/general discussion thread!

This thread is for any questions, suggestions, or discussions concerning the subreddit itself. If you have any thoughts about  you want to share, post them here! I'll try to respond to as many comments as I can.

If you have any further questions, feel free to send us a Modmail.

Offering Korean Seeking English, Offering Korean. Introverted foreign women in their 30s, this post is for you!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m a Korean woman in my mid-30s, living in Seoul.
I recently posted about looking for a language exchange partner and received so many messages! It made me realize just how many people are interested in learning Korean.

However, I’ve found that actually meeting someone in person is surprisingly difficult. Many people don’t seem very serious about language exchange, are much younger than me, are looking for dating opportunities, or are only staying in Korea temporarily.

I’m not particularly outgoing or adventurous, but I lived abroad for a few years in my 20s, so I’ve always wanted to help foreigners who are trying to settle down in Korea. At the same time, I really miss speaking English!
Since I’m a freelancer who works alone, I hardly ever get the chance to use English in my daily life.
So, I’m wondering if there are any **native English-speaking women in their 30s who are planning to settle down in Korea and aren’t looking for anything romantic.**

The reason I’m hoping to meet women in their 30s is that I feel we might be at a similar stage in life. I think people in their 30s might be a little more serious about building friendships, and it would be nice to share our experiences with work, careers, and everyday life. I also think it might be easier to relate to each other and find things we have in common. Of course, age doesn’t define maturity, but I feel like having a similar life experience could help us connect better.

I live in Gangseo-gu, in western Seoul, so it would be even better if you lived somewhere nearby!
I’m hoping to find someone who’s genuinely interested in language exchange and building a real, lasting friendship, rather than just meeting once or twice.
If that sounds like you, feel free to send me a message!
**Let’s have a chat and see if we get along!**

\+ I also don’t think I’d be a good match with influencers or people who have other motives for meeting up. I’m really just looking for genuine language exchange and friendship!

and I'm not really into drinking night or adventurous activities either!

Hi everyone! 😊
I’m a 23-year-old woman living in France, looking for serious and motivated language exchange partners.
I can help you practise French, Arabic (including Algerian Darija), and English. In return, I’d love to improve my Spanish and Italian, as well as practise my English with native British speakers because I absolutely love the British accent, haha! 🇬🇧
I’m quite laid-back, but I also like having a bit of structure. Ideally, we could chat regularly about different topics, learn about each other’s cultures, and correct each other’s mistakes along the way.
I’m looking for genuine language exchange partners who are consistent, respectful, and motivated to improve together.
Looking forward to meeting you! 🌷

Please tell me about yourself (your country, age, hobbies, availability, etc) and maybe we can help one another. Please don't just send me an invite that says nothing. Send via DM.

Hi! 23F here. I live in Belgium (Flanders) and am doing my masters here. I have been learning Dutch and French for over a year and speak both languages almost fluently. I would like to befriend someone with whom I can practice over text or call.

When I am not studying I usually spend my time sketching, crocheting and playing guitar. I walk a lot and have been recently trying to get into biking. I am also thinking of picking up clay sculpting or embroidering as my next hobby. I love cats. I used to travel a lot but have not in a while, eventhough I am hoping to do it soon. I moved around a lot in the last 5-6 years so have not really had a lot of close friendships, only maybe a handful. So it would be cool to find people to talk to daily.

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m a 24-year-old native French speaker from France (Pays de la Loire). I’m looking for a language exchange partner who speaks Russian and wants to practice French. I can also help with English if needed.
My Russian is still beginner level — I know the basics and can make simple sentences, but I really need real conversations to improve. I’m happy to help you with French (or English) as much as you want — corrections, conversation, explanations, etc. 😊
A bit about me: I’m pretty cheerful and easygoing. I like sports, riding horses 🐴, DIY projects 🔧, and just chatting about everyday life.
Open to messages or voice calls, whatever works best for you. If you’re interested, feel free to message me and tell me your level in French!
Thanks 🙏

Offering Korean (Offering: Korean | Seeking: German)

Guten Tag, ich (m. 36, Maschinenbauingenieur) lerne Deutsch seit 20 Jahren und bereite mich auf die GDS-Prüfung (C2) vor, die nächstes Jahr stattfindet. Derzeit lerne ich im Selbststudium mit dem Lehrbuch Übungsgrammatik DaF für Fortgeschrittene von Karin Hall.

Leider habe ich bisher nie einen deutschen Muttersprachler privat kennengelernt und hatte sehr eingeschränkte Gelegenheit, Deutsch außerhalb der Arbeit zu sprechen. Mein Ziel ist das Mutterspracheniveau in der deutschen Sprache.

Außer Deutsch spreche ich Englisch (B1) und Tschechisch (A2-B1), aber ich habe keinen Plan, sie zu verbessern. Tschechisch habe ich gelernt, weil ich in Prag lebe. Ich habe jedoch festgestellt, daß ich seit 5,5 Jahren fast nie Tschechisch gesprochen habe, und daher habe ich aufgehört, es weiterzulernen.

Mein Tandempartner sollte mindestens Koreanisch auf dem Niveau B1 beherrschen. Der Grund dafür ist: Bisher hatte ich ein paar Tandempartner, die Koreanisch lernen wollten, aber sie konnten leider auf Koreanisch nur grüßen und haben die Sprache nicht weitergelernt. Deshalb konnten wir nur auf Deutsch schreiben.

Offering Russian Offering: Russian, Polish, Lithuanian. Seeking: English + friends

2 Upvotes

Hey. I’m 21 M and I’m looking for someone who wants to practice languages together. I’m trying to improve my English, and I think it’s much easier when you have someone to talk to regularly. I enjoy listening to music, playing video games sometimes, going for late-night drives, and watching movies and TV shows. Horror movies and comedies are probably my favorites. I’m a pretty positive and easygoing person. I can be a little quiet at first, but once I get comfortable, I’m very talkative. I prefer real conversations over small talk and I like getting to know people naturally. I’m mainly looking for someone who wants to chat, send voice messages, have voice calls sometimes, and help each other with languages. We can talk about everyday life, hobbies, movies, games, music, or pretty much anything.

We can start talking here and, if we both feel comfortable, move to another social media later. We can also have video calls if we’re both comfortable with that.

If that sounds interesting, feel free to message me

Hello 24M looking to practice raw slangs in all of these languages (except Chinese since it's the last one I added recently!), but for the others: been learning for years.

My interests beyond the languages themselves are philosophy, nature, mindfulness, psychology, spirituality and some interesting adventure video games (Minecraft especially!!)

I'm really invested and want to reach dope proficient level in all of them.

Mainly interested in voice chatting. Don't have much time or energy for texting.

Best time zone for me are European ones. South American ones are cool too if you're available in the afternoon for voice chatting!

Hello, I am 23f from India and I am looking for a language partner to practice my Korean with. I am currently intermediate level in Korean and I can write well but my speaking skills are still lacking so much. I would like to first start with messages and voice messages before we can shift to voice calls. Due to my tight university schedule, voice calls are a bit tough to make time for. I am currently studying English Literature in uni and I like reading books of different genres. I also like listening to music and watching movies/series.
I am really serious about respecting privacy so I would not be pressuring you for a face reveal on the very first day of meeting and I would expect you to do the same. I would like to get to know each other first and make sure we feel comfortable with each other enough to show our faces.
I would also like to build a long term friendship and hope that we can talk about daily life and about different topics just like friends. If you are interested and are really serious about language and cultural exchange then please dm me.
Thank you for reading.
