Learn Languages by Speaking
You've taken some classes. Downloaded the apps. Now comes the part that makes it real: speaking. Finding language partners can be a challenge. At Flip Lingoes we take care of matching you with fluent speakers, so you can spend less time looking for language partners and more time talking with them. Sign up. Show up. Start speaking. See where a little conversation takes you.

How does it work?
-
- Create your profileTell us the language(s) you speak and the language(s) you’re learning. This helps us match you with the right group.
- Choose an eventLog in, choose an upcoming event and show your interest and get event credits. You’ll receive a QR code for check-in.
- Arrive on timePlease arrive at the location before event registration closes so we have time to match you into a group.
-
- Check inScan your QR code at the check-in desk.
- We assign you a tableWhen the event starts you’ll get your table number, matching you with fluent speakers.
- Start speakingAt your table, you’ll find a flip card showing the languages in your group. Every five minutes, a bell rings and you flip the card to switch languages.
You’ll practise your target language, help others with theirs, and stay with the same group throughout the exchange.
The exchange runs for 1 hour 15 minutes. Afterwards, you’re invited to enjoy some snacks and mingle with the wider group.
Online & In-person events
-
- Create an account and choose an eventLog in to see upcoming events in your local time and click "I'm interested". You can purchase your event credit(s) in advance to make check-in quicker.
- Join the eventWhen registration opens, click the event link, then the join button and follow the steps on screen. Our matching algorithm will place you in small breakout rooms where you can practise speaking with fluent speakers through a video call.
- Exchange languagesThe same five-minute Flip Lingoes structure applies. For five minutes, you speak your fluent language and help others. Then switch languages so they can help you with your target language. Every five minutes, we’ll send a broadcast message to indicate a language change.
-
For in-person event registration you get a QR code and scan at the venue.
For online event registration, you follow the steps on screen and click to join. The online language exchanges take place via Zoom video call.
Both use the same matching and the same flip structure — the format does not change, only the setting. We take care of the matching so you can practise speaking with fluent speakers.
The online events cost half the amount of credits. Credits and bundles between online and in-person language exchanges are interchangeable.
