Language exchange: practise a language with a friend in Dubai
Dubai is home to people from nearly every country, which makes it a wonderful place to learn a language. In a language exchange, two people help each other: half the time in one language, half in the other.
Where people do this in Dubai
- Quiet cafés, where you can talk without shouting.
- Libraries with study spaces, such as the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library.
- Walks in the cooler months: conversation practice on the move.
How to find your people
- Split the time evenly between both languages.
- Bring a topic or a short article to talk about.
- Correct each other kindly, and only when asked.
First plans for two
- A one-hour coffee exchange after work
- A library session with a short reading
- A market visit practising everyday words
Good to know
Keep it about language and friendship: TruFriend isn’t for paid lessons or tutoring offers.
