Opportunity to practise and improve target language with native speakers!
Practise & improve languages while meeting new people!
Over 15,000 people have practised and improved languages with us – YOU can too!
Benefits
All levels are catered for at the exchanges – whether you are fluent or a beginner you can get involved and benefit greatly!
Meet lots of people from all over the world (we have had over 50 nationalities attend the exchanges!). Great for networking!
It is fun, easy-going and a social event in a pub – not like going into a classroom! You will use the language in real life situations!
Increase your confidence speaking a foreign language – no need to worry about making mistakes – the person opposite you is in the same situation. The best way to learn a language is to speak it!
Learn more than just the language you are learning by talking to someone who is a native speaker and finding out what is it like where they are from and a bit about their culture and lifestyle. You will be sure to pick up on different accents too
The exchanges are run at 6.30pm on Mondays in Dtwo and Thursday in the Turks Head – convenient city centre locations and time!
Our friendly organisers will greet you, make sure you are comfortable, and answer any questions you may have about learning languages
It is great value at €5 and there is no contract. We also give loyalty cards – come to 5 events get the 6th FREE! We also give students a 20% discount!
You get finger food and snacks included in the price (bowls with chicken wings, sausages, wedges, onion rings, crisps etc)
The system has been tried and tested with lots of people coming regularly week in week out. We’ve had over 15,000 people improve their languages at our events!
Our language exchanges are well organised, professional, and structured to ensure you get the most out of each event

5 out of 5. Last Thursday was my first time and I absolutely enjoyed the experience. It’s good for those ones who are practicing their conversational skills in a new language. And it’s a good place to meet people and to make friends. Keep doing a great job guys . See you soon!

This is where a language is learnt. Much more than in the classroom. You speak with natives and you don’t have to be nervous because they are in the same situation.

Hi! Hallo! Hola! Óla! Ciao! Hej! I just moved to Dublin and started to learn Portuguese here. The Language Exchange is a great way to practice with native speakers what I learned in class. No matter if you are a complete beginner or a advanced speaker, it’s the perfect place to do the first/next steps and improve from week to week. Don’t be afraid to come alone, you’ll make new friends easily and see more and more familiar faces the more meetings you join. It’s a nice mix of people from different countries, of different age, with interesting backgrounds, all connected by the wish to practice languages and help each others.

Some of my students can’t get enough and are always rushing off after lessons to practise the English they have just learnt at the Language Exchange. It gets a big thumbs up from me for helping students get used to spoken English outside of the classroom.

I am really enjoying to practice my English at Language Exchange in Dtwo on Mondays and Turks Head on Thursdays. It’s very fun and a good opportunity to meet new people!

Language Exchange Ireland gives you a great opportunity to learn and improve the language you are learning. It is very flexible as it accommodates many different languages, not just the most globally spoken ones. Every time I go there, I meet new faces from diverse cultures and ethnicities which I really enjoy. Language Exchange Ireland has really helped me with my Spanish and I’m sure for anyone who makes it a habitual, the result will be likewise. So for me, I can’t give it enough praise!
