Conversationexchange.com - Language Exchange Site

They say the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in the culture and thereby forcing yourself to learn as a form of survival. The next best thing to moving to another country to learn a language would be connecting yourself with native speakers from that country and speaking with them in their language. This is where Conversation Exchange steps in, providing you with multiple ways of connecting with native speakers of a variety of languages. The first way they help you connect is through providing a search tool that allows you to look for people in your area who speak the language you want to learn for some face to face conversation. The second way is by hooking you up with a pen pal, allowing you to improve your writing skills and the last is through providing a portal for live text and video chat so that you can talk to natives from the comfort of your own desk.

“Through ConversationExchange.com you can have three types of language exchange: face to face conversation, correspondence (pen-pal), and text and voice chat.”

By providing a free service that allows people to exchange their knowledge of their native language to learn another, Conversation Exchange could become a key language-learning portal especially favored by those who seek a less formal learning environment.

Have they thought about structuring the portal a bit more to include more tools that people can use to teach each other? A good idea would be listing exactly what parts of the language are included in each level so that people could gain a better idea about what to teach first.
