Language exchange or dating app? How to tell

You want to practise Spanish. You do not want a stranger asking you out. It is a fair worry.

or

Free app to meet people in Surrey and London who speak your target language. 18+, no password.

Signs an app is built for dating - The first thing you set is a photo, age and looks. - You can swipe on people. - Profiles talk about relationships, not languages.

Signs it is built for practice - You pick languages and level first. - The first meeting is a coffee in a public place. - Romantic or sexual messages are against the rules, and you can report them.

How Nearly Fluent works - 18 and over. Everyone agrees to the guidelines. - You can choose to meet everyone, women only or men only. It works both ways. - You can block or report anyone. - Members can do a free photo check. Each profile shows how many people someone has met.

What to do if someone gets it wrong 1. Say once, politely, that you are here for language practice. 2. If it continues, block them. 3. Report them. Reports go to the team.

Half an hour in each language, in a public place, is a good first meeting.
