What is an Intercambio?

An intercambio is a language exchange. Two or more people with different native languages who are learning, or want to learn, the other person's language meet up and divide their time speaking in both languages.

The advantage of this method of language learning is that you learn from a native speaker, simply by having conversations. It's an equitable exchange - you both benefit equally, and share a skill that comes naturally to you - and, best of all, it's free!

So if you're learning Spanish to have a more rewarding travel experience, or to help you assimilate into the culture and life of Central America, you'll learn fastest with intercambios.

As links between Central America and the English-speaking world continue to grow, particularly through business and tourism, intercambios can help learners of English get ahead at a skill that is increasingly demanded by employers and which could open doors to new career opportunities.

Of course, this site is not just for English-Spanish exchanges. You can search for other languages spoken by people registered with intercambiocentralamerica.com and expand your language horizons even further...

Whatever your motivation for learning a new language, be it a course of study, for business, career advancement, to integrate into a new country, or just for fun, with intercambios you will learn fast, make new friends, and share a valuable skill to help people get on in their careers - just by chatting!
