About
The idea behind Parlamos
A calm, people-first place to practice a language with someone in another country. Chat is free.
Most ways to learn a language leave you alone with an app, or drop you into something that feels more like dating than learning. Parlamos is the opposite. It is built around real people who want to practice with each other.
You find someone in another country and open a free chat. You practice their language, they practice yours, and you help each other learn as you go.
What we care about
Real people, not flashcards
You practice with a person in another country, not a robot or a streak counter.
Learn from each other
Chat, correct each other, and pick up how people really talk. Everyone learns.
Safe by default
Text-first chat, no photos, a report button, and real moderation.
From the founder
I have always loved languages. I speak three: Spanish, French, and English. For years I struggled to keep learning new ones. I would start, then stop, because it is hard to make progress when the language is not around you every day.
That is how I learned English. I surrounded myself with it completely and it stuck, though English is the easy one since the whole world already uses it.
That is why I built Parlamos. I wanted it to be easier to find someone who wants to learn your language while you learn theirs. Here people help each other for free, and everyone learns.
Marcos, founder of Parlamos
