Thank you for downloading Tandem, a place to connect to native speakers worldwide and practice the language you are learning. Some cheeky bugs were trying to distract you, but we found them and, well, let's say, you don't need to worry about them anymore... :)

Why tandem sucks

Years ago I used tandem and it was a great learning app. Now, this is an app for people looking for relationships. Nothing against looking for love, but the app was/is marketed as a language learning app. In my experience, unless your language partner is a the same sex and not gay, then your language practice will be a cluster of people looking for love or whatever. As soon as you say I’m just wanting to practice language, and not plan a trip meetup or speak on another platform, they will rapidly lose interest and cancel meets. But that is normal on this site. If you want a international Tinder this is it, but if you are a person just trying to increase language skills conversation exchange is a far better site

Ghost app

No people here. Bad UI and lots of issues.

It’s dead (not like how it used to be)

When I first joined this app 5 years ago, it was easy to connect with people. Also you could add multiple languages on your account for free to make even more friends, it was really a fun experience. Now times had changed, I rejoined the app recently and it’s now only set to one language per day unless you pay for their premium; no way I’m paying $15 a month. Plus, the whole app feels dead now, nobody replies let alone be active, and some of the users that are active are using it as a dating app and not there to exchange languages. Tandem please do better, I miss the old you.
