Today we're pleased to share our experience with an app called Tandem. Tandem allows you to connect with Spanish speakers and practice your Spanish in an immersive setting. It's free and you can try it from the comfort of your home.
Background on immersion
As we've previously written, immersion continues to be the best way to grow your vocabulary, speak Spanish more confidently, and improve your Spanish overall. Immersion works best when you incorporate it into multiple aspects of your life, like when you move to a new country or study abroad.
However, immersion definitely remains a top choice, even with less drastic changes.
What is Tandem?
Tandem is a free app you can use to improve your Spanish.
Tandem uses a method called "language exchange" to allow you to practice your Spanish. It works by matching you with a Spanish speaker who is also looking to practice their English. Together, both of you can practice your own target language and mutually benefit.
Once you've matched with someone, you'll be able to send them messages (both text and audio) and make audio and video calls through the app.
How is this different from other messaging apps?
Tandem isn't another texting app as it provides an easy way to meet new people with similar learning goals.
Tandem also features a handy correction feature you won't find in other messaging apps. It allows your learning partner to conveniently correct mistakes in messages you've sent – right in the chat. This provides a huge advantage as you can learn from mistakes with tailored feedback and in real time.
Give it a try
Tandem has been downloaded millions of times and has countless five star reviews. Don't hesitate to give it a try and see if it helps you!
