The Mixxer is a free educational community for language learners and teachers to find a language partner for a language exchange. The language partner is someone who speaks the language you study as their native language and is studying your native language. As a member of the Mixxer community, you can communicate with your language partner via Skype to practice speaking. You can also submit documents and ask native speakers to correct your writing.

Total number of Individuals looking for a language exchange : 24972
Total number of Teachers looking for a language exchange for a class : 464

Teachers can also find other classes interested in doing language exchanges with their students.

The program most commonly used among Mixxer language partners for speaking is Skype. Skype is a program that allows you to call other people using Skype for free. The program is free, provides excellent sound quality and is available for download at www.skype.com. Of course, once you've found a language partner, you are free to communicate however you wish whether by email, instant message, or Skype calls.

Each user receives their own document page once their account is created. The document is a wiki page, created with Wetpaint's Injected technology that will allow native speakers to correct your document and allow you to view changes. Those who are more technically inclined can find more information here.

Get started by creating an Individual Profile or Teacher Profile.
