Speaky

Speaky pairs language learners with each other for peer-to-peer exchange in 170+ languages. You can chat by text, voice message, or video call, so you control how much you want to speak versus write. The platform is free, funded by a small opt-in ad system, and it's genuinely international, so you're not stuck with learners from one region.

It's perfect if you want free conversation practice and don't mind teaching your native language to someone learning it. Speaky works best when both people commit to trading time, so it suits dedicated learners rather than casual samplers. The variety of languages is unmatched, making it ideal for rare language learners or heritage language speakers.
