I’m interested in remote language exchange (talking in Japanese and English with another person for mutual learning). I’ve done some poking around on a couple sites but I don’t want to hire a teacher or find a date. What’s the best place to look?
As a side note — I’m a native English speaker with a degree in linguistics; my Japanese is fluent for everyday conversation.
HelloTalk is really good for this. It’s basically a social media platform for language learners
I would agree that HelloTalk is where to go. Be mindful that there will still be those in the mix that use it primarily for meeting the opposite sex, but overall most are on there purely for language learning purposes and I think you’ll find most Japanese people are on it for this reason.
