So, here you are 10 language exchange communities you might find interesting and useful:

  1. Hi, There!

    Thank you for your article & i totally agree with your statement at the beginning of the article.Yes there are a lot of site on internet which are always ready to help someone who want to learn,You mention some good site but I’d like to try to compare it to my previous experience of learning English through Skype. I did several conversations over Skype with a native speaker from http://preply.com/en/skype/english-native-speakers. And I was pretty satisfied with their Quality. I think they have a strong teaching quality. Practicing their course curriculum now I can speak English like a native,But I Want to try another option.
