Yes, you can absolutely find Dutch speakers to practice with at your A2-B1 level. Your message is clear and friendly, and the fact that you avoid translators shows real commitment. The key is to approach the right communities and set clear expectations about wanting a casual chat, not a teacher.

Start with the platforms you already use. On HelloTalk, search for Dutch natives learning your language, or join Dutch language groups. Be upfront in your profile: state your level, that you want casual conversation, and that you are happy to help with your native language in return. On Discord, look for Dutch learning servers (search Disboard for "Dutch" or "Nederlands"); many have voice chat channels and native speakers who enjoy helping. WhatsApp is better for one-on-one exchanges once you have connected on HelloTalk or Discord.

When you message someone, keep it short and specific. Instead of just "Wil je met mij praten?", try: "Hoi! Ik zag dat je Nederlands leert. Ik ben tussen A2 en B1 en zoek een gezellig praatje. Ik kan je helpen met [your native language]. Zin om te chatten?" This shows you have read their profile and offers something in return.

Be honest about your level and what you want. Many learners expect corrections, but you said you want a casual chat, so say that. Native speakers often appreciate this because it feels less like work. Also, ask about cultural topics you are curious about, like meals. That gives the conversation a natural direction and shows genuine interest.

Expect some trial and error. Not every match will click, and response rates can be low. Try multiple platforms and give it a few weeks. Local options like language cafes or meetups (search for "taalcafé" in your area) can also work well if you prefer face-to-face. If you want structured practice alongside casual chat, a resource like Dutch Fluency could complement your conversations, but it is not necessary for finding a partner.

Finally, keep your opening message light and respectful. Avoid sending the same copy-paste message to many people; personalize it slightly. And remember that many Dutch speakers are happy to help if you show enthusiasm and make it easy for them.
