Language exchanges

A community in the University intranet


If you want to practise languages in a fun and social way, try language exchanges! Now you can meet people from the University for multilingual conversations:

  1. Go to www.uv.es/llengues/exchanges.
  2. Log in with your University username.
  3. Click on self enrolment.
  4. Add a new discussion topic to the forum of the language you want to learn and write in the subject the languages you offer for conversation. You can also visit the forums of the languages in which you can offer conversation and contact the people who offer the language you want to practise.
  5. When you find a person who speaks the languages you want to practise and who wants to speak the languages you offer, you can get in touch sending a private message by clicking on their name.
  6. You can have a coffee, chat, go to the theatre, to the cinema, on a trip, etc. You decide what languages you practise, what you do and how often you meet.

You can also look for or offer a room in a shared flat with people who speak the language you wish to practice, thus contributing to language exchange without a commercial purpose.

Apparella't


Download the app Apparella't, developed by Plataforma per la Llengua*, to look for a language partner. The application, which works similarly to dating apps, will make it easier and more fun to find someone to talk to in Catalan. You can learn or teach the language anywhere in the world. Thanks to its geolocator, you can get in touch with people who speak Catalan fluently or offer conversation to learners.

When you find a person who fits your needs and interests, get in touch and start talking! You can have a coffee, chat, go to the theatre, to the cinema, on a trip, etc. You decide what you do and how often you meet.

Voluntariat pel valencià


If you want a language partner to practise Catalan, you can also sign up for the free Voluntariat pel valencià programme, organised by Escola Valenciana*. Just fill in a form on their website and they will let you know when they find a partner that shares your hobbies and interests.
