Just think, you'll get that all important practice time together as well as the motivation to improve because, well.... you want them to like you right? Motivation + practice = ninja! Isn’t this just like all the other dating apps? Nope. For a start it super simple. No long questionnaires. No gimmicks. No charms. Just you and your love of language and culture.
