LEARNING ENGLISH ON TANDEM
The goal when you use this app is you can learn English as you wish with the native speaker. So the most important part is you have to find a partner for you to learn, brainstorm, and you can even tell about your culture. This is not easy, sometimes you have to chat with two or three people until you find the right one. After you find the one, you can ask the stranger about tenses, vocabulary, or pronounciation that you think it is hard to say. Not only chat, you can do voice call or video call, so these features will help you more.
For example, I am Indonesian. I am willing to learn about English, so I have to find a partner who is native in English. After I found a partner who is suitable with my qualifications, the first thing that I have to introduce myself, and so does the stanger. Then we can make an agreement, you can ask the stranger if she/he is willing to learn Indonesian you can help him/her. You also have to state your intention that you want to learn English, so he/she can understand, and help you with it. Usually, the stranger will ask you about, “Where do you want to start? Or What do you wanted to know about English?” something like that. You do not have to be worry, if the stranger will judge about grammar or your bad pronounciation, because they will understand that we are still learning. Meanwhile, they will apreciate your hard work in learning languages. Just be confident, and they will support you.
