Even though Chinese is a huge passion, I still lose my will to practice once in a while. What are your tips and tricks to keep it going?

I used the Tandem app to meet native speakers of the target language who are learning my language.

Once I find a match, we set up calls on a regular basis. With one, we switch languages halfway through. With another, we alternate languages each call.

If you don’t feel ready for a voice call, you can text back and forth or send audio files.

Once you find a partner you like on Tandem you can switch to a different encrypted chat app for privacy.
