About Tandem
Tandem connects people who want to practise each other's languages. You sign up, the team reviews your application, and you then search for partners by language, location and interests. A German speaker learning English might pair with an English speaker learning German, and each helps the other.
Conversations can happen by text, voice note, audio call or video call. Built-in correction and translation tools help partners fix mistakes and keep a conversation going. It suits learners who want real conversation practice rather than structured lessons.
Strengths

- Text, voice note, audio and video call options
- In-app correction and translation tools
- Partner search by language, location and interests
Limitations
- Requires an account and an application review before use
