About a month ago the trainer at the IT course recommended a website that can help us find native speakers of any language and communicate with them easily. I sent invitations to many people who have an interest in learning Arabic offering my help and looking for a chance to practice my English in return. I received the first response from an American guy and I was really excited to talk for the first time ( with voice ) with a native speaker of the language that I've been learning for over ten years and which became my major. We chatted for over hour , I explained to him some points in his Arabic homework , then I started to take my turn as a trainee. I have about four friends now , and I chat almost daily.
The most exciting thing about that kind of conversations is that you play two roles ; you are a teacher and a student ( or a trainee ) at the same time. You have the right to ask about an expression you don't understand or an idiom you can't figure out its meaning without feeling shy. You can also make mistakes and be corrected immediately.
Another thing is that we're not only exchanging languages , but also cultures , ideas , and views regarding everything in life. Actually I'm not going to count the benefits of these conversations for both learners , but I can only recommend that you give it a shot and visit this fantastic website.
Don't forget to make an attractive description of yourself.
