Tandem

Tandem - Language Exchange is an Android app that allows us to get in touch with users from all other the world to practice languages by video conference.

Learn to speak other languages ​​by exchanging conversations

No matter how important theory is, languages ​​are learned by practicing and speaking them. However, one of the problems is that on many occasions we don't know who to practice with, but luckily Tandem Language Exchange is here to solve this situation.

It's an Android language exchange app that puts us in contact with other users with whom we can practice the chosen language via video conference. Learning Spanish, German, Chinese, French, Arabic or Swahili will soon be a breeze.

Key Features and Functions

This app is based on functions and features like the following:

• Tailor-made get-together with a partner for language practice.
• Over 3 million users to choose from.

How does tandem work?

As you can see, many of these features work over the VoIP protocol, which is capable of carrying video and voice over Internet data signals. That's why it's recommended to use a WiFi network if you don't want your data usage to skyrocket and ruin your phone plan.

This language learning application, which is also available for iPhone and which you can also combine with other applications such as Duolingo (more of a complement than an alternative), works as follows:

1. Step 1: Choose the language you want to learn so the system can show you who to connect you with.
2. Step 2: Share topics that interest you to find users with similar interests: football, music, politics, art, beers...
3. Step 3: Send messages to other users who you think can help you speak.
4. Step 4: Save your language buddies as contacts to keep practicing in the near future.

The app also gives you the opportunity to contact qualified teachers to clear any doubts and help you in your learning process. On the other hand, don't forget that you can also teach other people so that the whole community participates and learns.
