Automatic Audio Recording
Enable voice activated audio recording and never miss a Tamil word or phrase spoken by your partner. With no record button to worry about, you and your partner can talk naturally and focus on language learning. The chat app records your speech in real time. You can review your Tamil conversation at any time from any device. Listen to your partner’s Tamil at slower speeds, and as many times as you like to improve your listening comprehension.
Leave Audio Messages
Often, your partner is not online when you are available to practice. This is not a problem and may actually be a good thing. You can practice by recording and leaving audio messages! Some advantages over live conversation are:
You can take your time and consult your resources, like dictionary or grammar rules or pronunciation. This is very helpful if you are a bit of a beginner.
You can listen to your own speech and re-record until you are happy with your message. This is ideal if you are working on your pronounciation, or if you are nervous or shy.
You can bridge time differences. Your partner may be in a different time zone or may have a different schedule than you. You can access more Tamil conversation partners from more places in the world.
More Language Learning Tools
Speech-to-text The chat app can recognize your partner’s Tamil speech and trascribe it (closed caption) into the equivalent Tamil text both in real time and after.
Inline translation The chat app can translate your partner’s Tamil text, or Tamil text generated by the app’s speech-to-text feature, and provide the translated text in your native language (111 supported languages). This can be done in real time and after.
Text Correction If you and your partner correct each other’s text, the app can highlight what you removed or added.

In a Tamil language exchange, you practice speaking with an ordinary Tamil native speaker who is learning your native language, helping each other learn and become fluent. Following the Cormier Method provided by our language teacher, language exchange expert and co-founder, you spend half your time conversing in Tamil and half the time in your native language, switching languages at regular intervals (e.g. 5 or 10 minutes). When speaking in Tamil, you are focusing on your own learning while your partner is focusing on helping you learn Tamil. And while talking in your native language, you are focusing on helping your partner while catching a much needed break from practicing Tamil.
Why Do a Language Exchange?
Friendship In helping each other learn your native languages, a comradery usually forms. You are discussing common interests and encouraging each other to continue their journey to fluency. You learn a lot about each other, your families and interests and share the same struggles of becoming fluent in another language. Life-long friendships often form. See our testimonials.
Inexpensive There is no teacher or tutor, so it is free. This is important, because you will need a lot of practice to become fluent.
Learning the real language Since you are talking with an ordinary Tamil speaker, you are learning the real language, complete with all the slang and expressions that you would likely encounter if you ever visit in person.
Practicing without a teacher or tutor can be challenging. Fortunately, we teach you how to practice effectively on your own. We are the only website that provides a method from a teacher specializing in language exchange practice. The method fosters a fun, mutually supportive environment where many people have found life-long friends. We also provide conversation topics in our language exchange lesson plans. Before you practice, please read our How-To do a language exchange page.
