Description
PBC Languages is a free platform where you practise the language you are learning by videocall, with native speakers of that language. Pick a language, a day and a time and join an exchange, or create your own slot if none fits. Half the call in each language. There is also a community chat, group events, and points, streaks and weekly leagues so people keep coming back. Exchanges, chat and events are free; classes with certified teachers are the paid part.

Could you build this?
Partial The matching schedule and scheduling frontend are easy to build, but coordinating stable real-time multi-peer WebRTC video infrastructure and reliable connection handling needs dedicated engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a WebRTC signaling server (Node.js/Socket.io), STUN/TURN servers (coturn) to navigate symmetric NATs, or integrating an external video provider (LiveKit/Daily.co). The challenging technical parts are mid-call language switching timers, connection quality degradation recovery, and handling call drops gracefully. Specialized knowledge in real-time WebRTC media routing is required.
