Can I share my location with language partners?

Share a place when it helps you meet

When you and a partner want to meet up, Linga Chat lets you share your location so you can find each other easily — useful when you are picking a cafe, meeting before an event, or guiding a traveler to a spot. Sharing is always your choice; nothing about your whereabouts is revealed automatically.

How location sharing works

• You decide whether and when to share a location, and with whom.
• Meet more easily by dropping a pin instead of typing out directions.
• Pair it with the Partner Map and events to plan in-person practice.
• Skip the confusion of describing a spot in a language you are still learning.

Stay in control

Your privacy stays yours. Keep sensitive details like your home address private until you trust someone, meet in public places the first time, and use report and block tools if anything feels off — moderation is there to back you up. Location sharing is a convenience you switch on for people you already want to meet, not a broadcast to strangers, and you can stop sharing at any time. It works best alongside a bit of common sense: agree on a public spot, arrive on your own terms, and let the conversation take over from there. Linga Chat is free to start, so you can practice in person on your own terms.
