Description

Description

Cambly specializes in on-demand English conversation practice. At the press of a button, the platform connects you with a friendly native speaker for a video chat session. This model is ideal for learners seeking to practice speaking without the scheduling of a formal lesson. Cambly operates on a subscription that provides a set number of minutes per week. While some tutors offer structured lessons, the platform's main strength is its accessibility for spontaneous, immersive conversation to build fluency.

Ayni is a language exchange community designed to connect you with native speakers for mutual practice. The platform facilitates communication through text, voice messages, and calls, enabling a purely communicative approach to learning. It is an excellent free resource for gaining real-world conversation experience and applying what you have learned elsewhere. However, it contains no structured content or curriculum, and the success of the experience is entirely dependent on your own initiative and finding a compatible, reliable partner.
