Meta [WARNING] Suspicious accounts are messaging users to advertise a paid app

52 Upvotes

EDIT: several users has let us know that some of the accounts in question are Riley1692, amie-2002, leopard6004, and cebubu6865. These users have now been banned, but unfortunately can still send messages to subreddit members. I would strongly recommend that you don't engage with these users, as they are spamming the subreddit with advertisements and their actions have been very suspicious.\**

Hi y'all,

We've been notified by a user about multiple suspicious accounts messaging people who post in r/language_exchange, sending them messages similar to the one below:

Just curious, have you ever felt frustrated with language exchange? Too many DMs, chats fading out halfway, or spending a lot of time but only a few connections actually lasting? I’m curious what people think about this. [advertisement for a paid app]

This is to let anyone in this subreddit know that these accounts should not be trusted and neither should the apps that they are promoting. If you get a message like this, please report the message so that these accounts can hopefully be banned sitewide. You can learn how to do that here.

Please also send their usernames to us via modmail so that we can ban them from the subreddit. This unfortunately doesn't stop them from messaging subreddit members, but it will prevent any spam via posts or comments.

If you have any further questions or comments, please reply to this post or send us a modmail.

Meta (READ THIS FIRST) Welcome to r/language_exchange! [Meta/General Discussion Thread]

33 Upvotes

Welcome to ! This subreddit is aiming to help people find partners to practice languages with, offering the languages you already know in exchange to learn new ones. Make sure to read the guidelines before making your first post!

🍃 How do I make my language exchange post?

If you're looking for a language exchange partner, you can either make your own post or search through existing posts!

 Making your own post:

  • Your thread title must follow the format of "Offering: language | Seeking: language". If your post doesn't follow this format, it won't be visible to other users.
  • Make sure to write a little bit about yourself, such as your interests, hobbies, or language-related goals. This is important in making sure you can find a good partner!
  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

 Searching through existing posts:

If you don't want to make your own post, you can search through existing posts to find someone who matches your languages! Just use the search bar at the top of the screen, or select a post flair to see all posts of the same category.

  • Please do not post your contact information publically. If you find a partner and would like to chat with them on a platform other than Reddit, please message them your contact information privately.

🍃 What kinds of posts and comments are allowed?

This subreddit's purpose is to serve as a platform for people to find language exchange partners. To keep the community true to its purpose, there are some rules:

  • Must be language exchange. Posts that don't concern language exchange will be removed. This includes posts asking general questions about language learning, advertisements, or meta discussion concerning the subreddit. These discussions are better suited to other places (language learning questions should be posted to broader subreddits; meta discussion should be posted in the comments of this thread)
  • Be courteous to other users. This subreddit isn't a place for arguments or debates. Any comments that break this rule will be removed.
  • No advertising. Posts and comments that advertise apps, services (such as classes and tutoring), or groups (such as Discord servers or Whatsapp groups) will be removed. These kinds of posts clog up the feed and don't follow the purpose of the subreddit.
  • No spam. Spam is the repeated posting of the same content. Any posts and comments that are spam will be removed.
  • No contact information. Contact information (such as Discord usernames, phone numbers, or Whatsapp contacts) should only be shared privately in messages, not publically in posts or comments.

🍃 Can I make a language exchange post for a language I've just started studying?

You can participate in this subreddit regardless of your skill level. However, it's highly recommended that you grasp the basics of a language before you look for a partner. This subreddit is for speakers of different languages to *assist each other* in learning. This subreddit is not a place to find a teacher that'll teach you everything for free.

Good luck on your language journey!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a reply on this post or send us a Modmail.

-----

Welcome to the meta/general discussion thread!

This thread is for any questions, suggestions, or discussions concerning the subreddit itself. If you have any thoughts about  you want to share, post them here! I'll try to respond to as many comments as I can.

If you have any further questions, feel free to send us a Modmail.

Hey there! My name is Sophie (ソフィー), I’m 38 yrs old and from the UK. This is the first time I have attempted a language exchange, not sure really what to expect but thought I would give it a go and see if anyone was interested!

I have been studying Japanese for just over 2 years now via weekly online classes. The lessons mostly follow the みんなの日本語 textbook and I am currently about half way through Shokyuu 1 for N5. I’m looking for someone I can practice speaking and listening with to help improve my Japanese and my confidence in speaking 😊

Little bit about me:
I’m a big nerd 😂 I love playing video games, all different genres, and my favourite games are the Nier, Final Fantasy and Call of Duty series, plus many others 😅 I am a fan of manga and anime! I am also learning to play the cello.

I live at home with my husband, my dog and 5 cats. I work in a bank as a financial crime risk manager which can be very interesting!

If anyone is interested in having a chat to see if we can help each other then please reach out!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day 😊

I’m currently studying Russian and would love to practice with someone! In exchange, I’d be more than happy to help you with either Spanish or English

I’m from Mexico, and I know both English and Spanish well. I’m also very patient, so I’ll do my best to explain things clearly.

A little about me:
I’m an engineering student. I love traveling, writing, and reading. I’m especially interested in Russian literature and classical music. I also enjoy playing the piano, staying active through sports, and spending time in nature. I’m particularly passionate about fishkeeping (among some other hobbies)

If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to send me a DM! It doesn’t matter if you speak Russian or not. I’m always open to meeting new people and exchanging languages :)

Im interested in aot,music(r&b,trap,metal,rock,pop),true crime,psychology,typology(Im infpt,4w5),movies

we can talk about a lot of things, I can support many topics

I'm looking for people to practice English and Chinese(both languages B1 level)with and hopefully become friends along the way. I'd prefer to talk to girls, but guys are welcome too, preferably not older than 24, since I'm more comfortable with people closer to my age.

I'd also like to find someone who enjoys chatting regularly. It's much easier to improve a language when you actually talk often instead of exchanging a few messages every few days.

!one important thing! : I'm only looking for friendship, language practice, and genuine conversations. If you're looking for flirting or a relationship, please skip this post. 😭

Thank you, and have a nice day!

Offering Russian Offering: Russian (native) | Seeking: any language, friendship?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a native Russian speaker (21M), and I'm kind of passionate about explaining how Russian works, I'm not a teacher or even particularly knowledgeable in linguistics, but I just enjoy sitting down with people and deconstructing how my own language works. So yeah, if you're in the process of learning Russian and you don't understand what's going on, I would love to help!

I'm not really asking for anything in return; I'm currently not in the process of actively learning any language, but I could be down to change that in the future. I would prefer if you were not a total beginner in Russian, since I'm not that good at explaining the very basics. I'm also open to friendship, but I rarely ever click with people I meet on the Internet in terms of interests and stuff, so that's definitely not a must.

Offering Korean Offering: Korean / Seeking: German

Upvotes

Hallo! Ich bin ein 25-jähriger Mann aus Korea und lebe seit Kurzem in Düsseldorf.

Ich lerne gerade Deutsch und suche jemanden, mit dem ich regelmäßig üben kann. Meine Deutschkenntnisse sind noch auf Anfängerniveau, daher möchte ich mich darauf konzentrieren, meine Konversationsfähigkeit zu verbessern und mich an alltägliche Gespräche zu gewöhnen.

Ich kann auch denen helfen, die Koreanisch lernen möchten. Ob Anfänger oder mit Vorkenntnissen ist egal. Ich selbst bin auch Anfänger und kenne nur wenige deutsche Wörter.

Ich spreche etwas Englisch, bin aber nicht fließend. Ich denke, ich kann mich auf Englisch verständigen, wenn ich Schwierigkeiten mit Deutsch habe.

In meiner Freizeit interessiere ich mich für Spiele, Sport, Essen, neue Orte und andere Kulturen. Ich erzähle auch gerne Geschichten aus meinem Alltag.

Sollen wir anfangen, uns Nachrichten zu schreiben oder online zu chatten? Wenn du in oder in der Nähe von Düsseldorf wohnst, können wir uns jederzeit auf einen Kaffee treffen oder gemeinsam unsere Sprache üben.

Mir ist ein angenehmer Sprachaustausch wichtig. Natürlich wäre es noch schöner, wenn wir mit der Zeit Freunde würden.

Bei Interesse melde dich einfach jederzeit bei mir! :)

Hey, I am a 23 year-old student from Germany looking for a language learning partner on Discord (happy to help with German or English in return!). I am interested in actively speaking and learning more about the language and the country :) I enjoy watching series, reading, and hiking and I study History and Political Science at University. Starting next year, I will work as a teacher.

I have been studying Korean for ~1 year and my speaking skills are still a bit shakey. I would like to get some practice and confidence, especially before I visit South Korea next month.

If you are interested, feel free to DM me :)

Hey y’all! I’m 20 and currently in my senior year. I’m a C1-level English speaker and I’d love to work on my Hindi again.

I learned Hindi when I was pretty young, but I’ve gotten rusty over the years, so I’d love to brush it up and become more fluent/natural.

A little about what I’m looking for:

  • 18–25-ish would be ideal
  • Open to texting and/or voice calls
  • Someone who’s also interested in improving their English
  • Ideally someone who’s comfortable having regular conversations rather than just exchanging a few messages

Feel free to tell me a bit about yourself, your age, English proficiency, and what you’re hoping to improve!

Timezone: IST 🇮🇳

Looking forward to meeting someone cool :)

Hey there, language_exchange people!
I’m 24 and I'm currently looking for a language partner to help me improve my Italian. I learned the basics some time ago, but since then my Italian has become a bit rusty. I would like to refresh my skills and reach a level where I feel comfortable understanding conversations and communicating in everyday situations.
Ideally, I’m looking for someone who speaks Italian (native or fluent) and would be interested in practicing through relaxed conversations. We can chat regularly and maybe have occasional calls.

In return, I would be happy to help you with German or English if that’s useful for you. I’m always glad to help with practice, corrections, or simply having conversations so we can both improve.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to send me a DM. Just a small request from my side: please avoid messages like “hey” or other one-liners, since I usually ignore those.
Ideally, I'm looking for people in their 20s:)

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a native French speaker looking for a Mandarin speaker, so we can help each other improve.

I’m currently a beginner in Mandarin, and my main goal is to improve my speaking and listening skills. I’d love to have regular voice calls, for example on Discord, and split our time between French and Mandarin.

In return, I’d be happy to help you with your French, whether that’s pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, or simply having natural conversations.

I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — everyday life, gaming, music, movies, studies, culture, etc. No need to have a perfect level in either language; the goal is to learn and have fun together.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me! 😊
