Votes

Myhappyplanet is an online social network for people interested in learning a language in exchange for the teaching of their own language. This approach allows native speakers from around the world to brush up their conversational skills and learn about other cultures while talking to each other and teaching each other. The service is completely free and just requires a quick registration. After registering you simply enter which languages you speak and which languages you are interested in learning. After having entered this basic information you can either search for an appropriate person to start learning with or sit back and wait to be contacted by someone else.

In their own words

“Practice with native speakers and improve your language skills for free. Make friends around the world and learn about different cultures.”

Why it might be a killer

They say the best way to learn a language is by experiencing the culture first hand. Myhappyplanet allows people to converse with natives and to learn how the language is really spoken. People will love the fact that it is free and that they can meet others who want to exchange knowledge.

Some questions

This is a great idea for a social network but will it really work for people who need to learn a language. Perhaps they could develop tools and material that would allow people to teach by using material available on the portal.
