Many of us have spent years and dedicated a lot of time learning a foreign language.
Unfortunately we tend to forget what we’ve learned because we don’t get to practice speaking the language often. We had trouble finding new people to practice speaking languages with over quarantine, so we built a webapp to fix that.
Enter Lingua, an application where a person chooses the language they want to practice using and we match them up with another person who chose the same language. So if someone choses Spanish we’ll match them up with another person who Spanish and this a messenger app so they can chat with each other.
When you meet someone new, especially over the internet, sometimes it's hard to think of topics to talk about so as soon as two people get matched we put a topic on the page they can talk about. They can press a button to get a new topic if they want.
Ultimately, Lingua is a place where you can meet someone new, practice your language, and maybe even make a new friend.
