Can you actually become conversational with language exchange partners on Discord?

It depends on who you match with and how consistent you both are. Some people are genuinely committed and you'll have real flowing conversations over weeks, while others ghost after a message or two. Discord servers for language exchange vary wildly in quality - some have active communities where you can practice regularly, others are pretty dead. Your best shot is finding partners who match your level and actually show up, then sticking with them long enough to get past the awkward phase.
