Get help from native French speakers in trade for your native language skills
iTalki is a long-standing player in the social language learning space. It is one of the largest language exchange communities in the world and there are loads of native French speakers waiting to share their language with you in exchange for help learning your native language - for free.
Finding a French language partner is easy + free
iTalki has developed an intuitive interface for finding French exchange partners (along with dozens and dozens more languages) which makes it quick and easy to locate, contact and quickly begin sharing with them.
French exchange by voice/audio + video calls
Once you connect with a French speaker on iTalki, you can then initiate a live conversation with them via voice and video calls directly over the Internet. Depending on both of your connection speeds, you can use either audio or video!
Massive user base, huge French language exchange potential
iTalki has such an expansive user base that the chances of you finding a French language exchange partner is incredibly high, no matter what your native language is. English - being such an international language and a worldwide business lingua franca - is of course in high demand.
One-on-one professional French tutor
All that said, you do need to take into account the fact that not all French language partners are equal and many people - though native French speakers themselves - might not be truly effective at helping you learn.
