At NaTakallam,
language is life-saving

Every 2 seconds, someone is forced to flee their home– that’s less than the time it takes to read this sentence.

Doctor or artist, architect or teacher, most displaced people struggle to earn a living. At the same time, in an increasingly interconnected world, global understanding has never been more critical to professional success.

NaTakallam offers language learning delivered by individuals who’ve been forced to leave their homes, providing them access to income at times where they might otherwise be cut off from the traditional economy in their temporary homes.

When language learning becomes an experience.

What our learners say

NaTakallam has given me the priceless opportunity to have a wonderful Syrian conversation partner that not only shares his language with me, but also his personal interests and history as a Syrian in Lebanon. This project is not simply about language exchange, it is a bridge connecting two cultures. Something we are so dramatically in need these days!

Valentina, USA (Arabic)

This is a wonderful opportunity to get our daughters to practice, given that we live in NY and that they are only in Lebanon one month a year. Their conversation partner was professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and knowing that this service helps her in her difficult situation makes it a win-win on both sides. Many thanks to the NaTakallam team!

Mother of young students, USA (Arabic)

I have been practicing my Spanish through Natakallam for 5 months now and highly recommend it. My fluency quickly improved and the human experience of getting to know my teacher and exchanging perspectives on life while conversing in Spanish has been very enriching. I'm really grateful to Natakallam for pairing us together.

Kristina, Yemen (Spanish)

Love the service! I was an Arabic major in college and got a masters at the American University of Cairo, but that was about 7 years ago, and I was rusty. My tutor was able to match my level and tailor the curriculum around what I'm interested in (improving my spoken Egyptian dialect and my pronunciation). I also use NaTakallam for Spanish, and I have the same positive review!

Spenser, USA (Arabic & Spanish)

I am having Spanish classes and very excited to continue with my conversation partner/teacher Marianela! This is a great platform to connect people who want to learn and earn! I am very happy being a part of this project. I highly recommend it to everyone.
