Top Trends

Planning to visit a foreign country to practice your language skills, but strapped for cash? Instead of breaking out your dusty high school language textbooks, head on over to Go Cambio, an online social network that connects you with residents of your desired foreign country who have a spare room and who are eager to practice their foreign languages.

 

If you’ve been longing to visit Spain but are unsure if your two years of study as a teenager will be enough to get you out of the airport, create an account on Go Cambio and connect with a Spanish citizen who has free space in their home and is willing to help you learn their language in exchange for a few hours spent practicing your language.

 

Once you create an account and enter your destination, Go Cambio offers a free one-hour introductory course to your language of choice. Then you are paired with possible hosts, all of whom are verified and feature reviews from previous cambios so you can be sure your host is safe and reliable.

 

Not only will you improve your language skills with Go Cambio, but you will also get the chance to meet locals and explore a new country through the eyes of someone who has lived there for life. Free lodging and a few free home-cooked meals mean you will save money on travel expenses and language courses, all while experiencing a unique way to see the world.
