Here are a few strong points:
- It gives all participants an opportunity to hear native speakers talk, so they can get used to their accents and slang.
They may help you speak more naturally by improving your pronunciation and learning idiomatic or slang expressions.
They can also tell you about the "conversation culture", that is, the attitudes and behaviors peculiar to a country or a region.
And reciprocally, in the second period, you can help them in a similar fashion.
- This immersion encourages you to reflect and behave in your second language, as a native! After the bell rings, you will be allowed to exchange in your mother tongue.

This has other benefits:
- Once you realize that your language exchange partner(s) also make(s) errors in your mother tongue, it enables you to relax and accept your mistakes while speaking in a foreign language.
- Thanks to your partner's output, you may learn new vocabulary and also how to express ideas differently.
