Difference between Community and Professional Practice Buddy

Community Practice Buddy

  • Community Practice Buddies are fluent or native speakers who want to make new friends and help foreigners practise their native language through daily conversations.
  • To be a community practice buddy, you must be a native speaker of the language or are fluent like a native.

Professional Practice Buddy

  • Professional Practice Budies have training as educators and/or extensive professional teaching experience. They can provide learners with resources, prepared materials, and structured lesson plans to help students reach their goals. However, the gist of the service is still to help learners practise through conversations.
