What is Crosstalk?
Crosstalk is a language exchange method where each person speaks only their own native language throughout the entire conversation. Your partner speaks their language — the one you want to learn. You speak yours — the one they want to learn. Nobody switches.
This is grounded in Stephen Krashen's theory of comprehensible input: the ability to speak a new language is the result of receiving quality input, not the cause. So in Crosstalk, the focus is on understanding your partner's language, not on producing it. Fluency follows naturally.
