Your SpanishMate Break

CharlaMate

You share your language. They share theirs.

CharlaMate is a reciprocal language exchange. You are paired with a Spanish speaker who is learning your language, and you help each other through real, friendly conversation.

Invite only

Why reciprocal exchange works

When both people are learners, the conversation becomes generous. You are patient because you know how it feels, and you are curious because you are both discovering something new.

Each session is shared fairly: half the time in Spanish, half in your language. You leave with new words, a new perspective and, often, a new friend.

How it works

  1. Tell us about you

    Your languages, your level, your interests and when you are available.

  2. Meet your mate

    We suggest a partner whose goals complement yours.

  3. Talk in turns

    Use simple conversation prompts, half in Spanish and half in your language.

  4. Grow together

    Keep notes, share feedback kindly and notice your confidence grow.

  • Pilot members help shape the app with their feedback.
