Conversation Exchange


Through Conversation Exchange you can have three types of language exchange: face to face conversation by meeting up with native speakers, correspondence by corresponding with a penpal and text and voice chat  by chatting with a native speaker and using your chat software of choice: Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, etc

Why learn a language via conversation exchange? Here are some great reasons:
  1. It's fun and you can make new friends from different cultures
  2. You learn slang and colloquial expressions you don't usually learn in a language class
  3. It's free
  4. There is no homework or boring grammar books to study
  5. You practice both listening and speaking at the same time. If you also want to practice writing and reading, you can do so by exchanging emails with your language exchange partner
  6. It's a very fast and effective language learning method
