Language exchange app Talk to the world

Speakblend is a free language exchange app for iPhone and Android. You meet people who speak the language you are learning, practice it with them in chat, and help them with your language in return. Built-in translation helps when you get stuck, and you can send voice messages, make voice calls, play games together inside a chat and share posts on a global feed. It is a place to practice everyday conversation and make friends in other countries.

Yes, Speakblend is free to download and free to use. Swiping, chats, translation, voice messages, voice calls, chat games and the global feed are all in the free app; swipes and new chats started without a match have daily limits. Speakblend MAX is an optional weekly, monthly or yearly subscription that adds unlimited swiping, up to 10 new chats a day without a match (1 on the free plan), 5 undos a day, the MAX badge, profile-visitor notifications, listening to posts out loud and more. Monthly and yearly plans also include a free Spotlight and 3 Auras every month. You can also spend SBC coins from daily tasks on MAX passes.

Yes, Speakblend is on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 15 or later) and on Google Play for Android. Your chats, calls and posts live in the app; there is no web version, and speakblend.com is for information and downloads. Open speakblend.com/download on your phone to go straight to the right store.

Speakblend is not limited to a short list: you choose the languages on your profile from more than 150. Each profile shows the person's native language and the languages they are learning. Translation in chats covers 130+ languages: translate any message, turn on Auto Translate for a whole chat, or translate your own message before you send it. Posts on the global feed are translated automatically into 40 languages.

The Speakblend app is available in 19 languages: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. That is the language of the app's menus and buttons. The languages you practice are chosen separately, from more than 150.

No, Speakblend has no video calls; its calls are voice calls, audio only. When you are ready to speak, start a voice call from your chat, or send a voice message and play messages back at 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x or 2x speed. Voice calls and voice messages are part of the free app.

On Speakblend you find language partners by swiping on the Match tab. You can filter suggestions by the language people speak, their nationality, gender and distance (nearby, your region or worldwide), and the suggestions learn from the profiles you like. Likes are one-way: when you like someone, they see your like and decide whether to accept it, and accepting opens your chat. You can also start a chat without a match: 1 new chat a day on the free plan, up to 10 with MAX.

Speakblend has 5 games that two people play together inside a chat: Word Chain, Taboo, Truth or Dare, Pixel Blend and Blind Control. They give you something new to talk about when a conversation slows down. Finishing a game together is also one way to reach Silver, the second tier of your friendship's Passport stamp.

No, Speakblend is built for language exchange and friendship, not dating. Its in-app Community Guidelines say that Speakblend is not designed for dating or sexual relationships. If someone pushes for dating, sexual content or photos, report and block them from their profile or from your chat. More on the safety page.

Speakblend gives you tools to report and block people, control what others can see about you, and act quickly when something feels wrong. You can report a person, a post or a group chat, and after you report someone the app offers to block them too. Blocking works both ways: neither of you can message or call the other. Messages go through automated text moderation, adult images are blocked when they are uploaded, and reports are reviewed with the help of AI. You can also hide your online status, last seen, typing indicator and read receipts, hide your exact location, or pause your visibility. More on the safety page.

You must be 18 or older to use Speakblend. Sign-up asks for your date of birth, and an account cannot be created for anyone under 18. Speakblend does not verify identities, so if you think someone is under 18, report their profile.

No, Speakblend is not a course: it has no lessons, exercises or AI tutor. It is for the part a course cannot give you, which is conversation with people who speak the language you are learning. Use it next to a class or a course app to put what you learn into words. Our stories show what a language exchange can look like.
