The Harvard Language Exchange provides members of the Harvard community (only)* the possibility of practicing informal conversation with a partner who speaks their target language. The purpose of the language exchange, or "tandem," is to allow partners equal time to practice their desired languages. After you sign up at languageexchange.fas.harvard.edu, you may match with a partner who speaks your target language, and, in exchange, whose target language you speak. Be aware that the database will grow as more users sign up, and you may not find an immediate match, especially if your target language is not commonly spoken.

To explore more resources related to the Harvard Language Exchange, including conversation itineraries and opportunities for linguistic enrichment, or to give us feedback on the program, please visit https://sites.harvard.edu/languageexchange/.

*All Harvard community members, including spouses and partners of faculty, staff, students, and visiting scholars, as well as alumni and retired faculty and staff, are eligible to participate in the Language Exchange. If you do not have an HUID but are a Harvard affiliate, you will need to create a Harvardkey light (https://harvard.service-now.com/ithelp?id=kb_article&sys_id=283054a3dbe47c5060c0d9fcd3961955).
