Title: PrePly for Indo SL??
Post by: bacteriophage on July 31, 2019, 10:20:51 pm

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience using the PrePly service to practicing Indo speaking with tutors / native speakers?
This app was recommended to me by a friend studying Mandarin. It is a paid service and from what I understand, you can choose a partner to 'hire' for an hour and you essentially practice your speaking with them in exchange for the hourly rate they charge.
The thought of speaking Indo for a whole hour with a stranger is scary in all honesty, and I'm not sure if the partners are actual teachers / tutors that help with your language skills or just like a friend to chat with...
Anyone got any experience on the app? Keen to hear about it if so! :)

I don't have experience with PrePly but Tandem (Tandem has a paid option if you want a tutor) and Bilingua are good and free despite having the type of people looking to flirt that are unfortunately on these apps they can be really helpful :)
