How it works

Language exchange and a network of private language teachers – the Mentor Program.

1. Language Exchange

2. Search for new language friends all around the world.


3. Start to communicate. Chat, e-mail, talk or why not meet in real life?

2. A network of private language teachers - The Mentor Program

Lingofriends Mentor Program can be described as a language lesson brokerage service. The program consists of a network of mentors that have a burning interest of teaching a language. Anyone gets a chance to become a mentor, independent of nationality, profession and background.

Lingofriends mediates the language lessons that most often are held online through IM’s, such as MSN Messenger and Skype. It's up to each mentor how to attract members and perform the lessons. Each mentor’s language lessons come with a fee, depending on number of lessons.

Lingofriends asks the members to evaluate the mentor's performance after each completed language lesson. The rating system is visualized by traditional stars.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor you first need to sign up as a regular member.
