A meal, a song, or a weekend activity gives both people something to say.
Korean Language Exchange
Start Korean language exchange with everyday conversation
Language exchange works best when both people have something to share. Pick an everyday topic and agree on how you want to practise before you begin.
One topic, two languages, room for mistakesAgree on a simple routine and let the conversation develop. You can practise language while learning about each other’s everyday lives.

About this guide
Language exchange is a conversation in which people help each other practise. You do not need an elaborate lesson plan. A small topic, a few questions, and an agreement about corrections can make the conversation easier to continue. Inko helps you discover people interested in Korea and talk in chat.
Say what you want to practise and what you can offer
Introduce your language level without apologising for it. For example: “I am learning Korean and can help with English. Would you like to talk about food?” Ask what the other person wants to practise too, and choose a pace that works for both of you.
Give both languages time
You could try five minutes in Korean and five minutes in your partner’s language, or alternate short messages. Agree on this routine together before you begin. Change it if either person feels rushed.
Bring one topic and two follow-up questions
Everyday topics are easier to return to than a long list of vocabulary. Ask a question, listen to the answer, and share your own experience. Try one of these sample prompts:
- Food: “오늘 뭐 먹었어요?” — “What did you eat today?” Then ask what they recommend.
- Music: “요즘 어떤 음악을 들어요?” — “What music do you listen to these days?” Then share a song.
- Weekend: “주말에 보통 뭐 해요?” — “What do you usually do on weekends?” Then describe your own routine.
Agree on corrections before correcting each other
Ask whether they prefer a correction right away or after they finish. Choose one useful phrase instead of rewriting every sentence. Try using the corrected phrase in your next reply so practice stays part of the conversation.
