Matching & discovery

What are Close Friends on Linga Chat?

Close Friends on Linga Chat is a shortlist where you keep the language partners you practice with most often, so your regular conversation partners are easy to find and you can pick up your practice without searching.

Your regular practice partners in one place

As you use Linga Chat you will find a handful of partners you click with — people whose level fits yours, whose schedule overlaps, and who you actually enjoy talking to. Close Friends is where you keep them. Instead of scrolling through every chat, you have a shortlist of the partners who matter most to your practice.

Why it helps your learning

  • Consistency — regular practice with the same partners is what builds real fluency.
  • Quick access — reach your best partners in a tap when you have time to talk.
  • Stronger bonds — the friendships that make language exchange stick usually come from a few steady partners, not dozens of one-off chats.

Building your circle

Add the partners you talk to most to Close Friends and keep the momentum going with voice messages, live rooms or a quick chat whenever you both have a moment. The goal of Linga Chat is real, repeated conversation, and a small group of trusted partners is the best way to get it. You can find new people to add through the match feed and discovery filters, and manage your connections from the Interactions Hub. Linga Chat is free to start.
