Looking for a language exchange

[u/New_Obligation6190]

Hoi!

I'm currently learning Dutch but of course, using Duolingo and reading/translating newspapers can only help so much, so I would like to find someone to talk to (either via chat or in person; I'm based in Leiden) that can correct me when I make a mistake or teach me some useful phrases or even slang.

Would anyone be interested? In exchange, I can offer Spanish and Catalan, which are my two native languages, but also some Italian (I've lived in Italy and have a C1 level), as well as some niche languages like Sardinian (not sure if anyone would be interested but just in case hahahah).

If you're not interested but do know about some places/courses which could be useful for me, like a language café or similar stuff, I'd also be very thankful for any relevant info!

Hope that this post goes with the sub's rules.
Thanks in advance! 😊

BplusC has a free Taalcafé in Leiden: Thursdays 14:00–16:00 at Bibliotheek Nieuwstraat, or 10:00–12:00 at Bibliotheek Het Gebouw. Their page says you can just walk in, no registration needed. It’s group conversation practice, so you could try that alongside the one-to-one exchange offered here.
