Hi everyone, I'm looking for some fun sites to practice languages with native speakers.

So far I've found https://www.online-lingo.com/ which is pretty nice since we can chat with professionals for free, ask them questions about their culture and language. It can be very useful for translating a document if you are not sure about a saying, a tradition or a slang word. They also have job listings for translators and their clients. Anyone have any other ideas/sites? ▲ Collapse

Another one Mar 22, 2019

You can have a look at this one :

https://www.freelang.com/

It is a translation agency with a special site for language and culture promotion. They used to have a chat and a "volunteer" translation section for short texts sent by individuals.

I hope this helps

You can find various groups using the keyword "polyglot" or "polyglotte" on YouTube and Facebook. Some even organize conferences around the world.
