Bring real conversations
into your classroom

Simple to set up and balanced between each language, students build confidence through real conversations.

1.

Match with your existing sister school or one from our vetted network.

Possible exchange times are found automatically so coordinating is a breeze with no need for email or messy spreadsheets.

2.

Set up times for the next week, term or whole year.

Propose times that work for you or accept from your partner. After confirming a time no further preparation needed: no sending links, no downloads, no student accounts.

Live video exchange

Students jump straight in to authentic conversations one on one or small groups. In-video conversation prompts keep sessions structured and conversations flowing naturally.

Digital pen-pal exchange

Students share letters, messages and projects before and after sessions. Ongoing exchanges go beyond language practice and deepen student cross-cultural understanding.

Effortless setup

No downloads, no student logins, and no email coordination required.

Safe by default

Video exchanges have strong safeguards and no student data is used, ever.

We've got you covered

We partner with schools to ensure lasting exchange programs and help along the way.
