Anyone had any experience with these language exchange websites?

I just joined a few here in London looking for native Spanish speakers to practice my Spanish. Got some decent looking replies from young students from Spain wanting to practice English but the problem is theres no photos on this site and I don't even have their email to try and stalkbook them.

I would say its probably 60-70% chance these girls would be fug and I would very skeptical to meet up not even getting a cheeky facebook look. Should I just suggest to be friends on facebook or something?

Any success/horror stories?

Similar question. Has anyone tried setting up language exchanges in South America? If so, how hot were the women? There seem to be a lot of university students who are interested in language exchange so it looks promising.

Skype forum, though tons of dudes.

sharedtalk.com also alot of dudes, but good for practice.

Bump for an update on the best sites to find a high quality language partner. Not for game, just to learn a language conversationally without having to go to a physical meet up group.

Anyone with new tips?

*Researched Skype forums looked like that was gold until late 2013 when they shut that shit down!

*Checked out livemocha.com I can't get into the look or feel at all.

I know one hot Colombian girl that uses interpals.net. I"ve never used it myself, so don't know if it's any good.

^ Looks somewhat promising thanks.

I think there is definitely a market for a language exchange app version of Chatroulette based on skill and reviews/rep points and gamified, without the video though unless you both agree to. What the person says in their microphone would be translated into text as well at the same time so it would be like instant subtitles. Each conversation could start with a 5 minute timer. If you both agree it can be extended, you can friend them for later if you want.

I can't believe an app like this does not exist. There has to be a gigantic market alone just from English <-> Spanish and English <-> Mandarin.... hmm.

I tried using this strategy years ago but found it wasn't a good return on my time and energy-efficient precisely because you have no way of knowing how hot the girl is. I think out of 2014-30, there were two that I really liked. What you could do is maybe set up a practice phone call to develop rapport and over phone, ask for Facebook, then filter from there. You can set up a second Facebook account so as not to taint your real one

^ I am not looking for game angles. Just to purely actually learn a language by speaking with someone even if it is a guy it doesn't matter.

If you want to learn a language, LiveMocha is amazing. Very good combination of premade tutorials and actual human connection.

If you want to dick around and game very nice and accessible girls, go for Interpals. I've never met a single person of either gender who learned more than a few sentences there.

Capitán Peligroso · 02-13-2015 05:44 PM

If you want to get to the point where you're conversational, use DuoLingo and PERHAPS LiveMocha (I think it was a lot better before they changed the format a couple of years ago. If you want to meet people to practice your conversation and writing skills, use InterPals.

Travesty · 02-13-2015 05:55 PM

^ I use Duolingo I am Spanish level 7.

Does the app or site have a feature to link with language partners? I want to practice speaking to each other like Sykpe just about everyday life or pick a topic and talk about it etc... and help correct each other.

Seth_Rose · 02-13-2015 06:06 PM

I use iTalki.

I'm pretty sure you can chat with anyone, but I prefer to use a tutor. My Russian tutor is $4 per 1/2 hour for crying out loud! For a few bucks Id recommend to spend the money on a tutor, not just some random person, but that's ultimately your decision.

I don't think so. That's where InterPals comes in. You can find people in your language/countries of interest and build social circles and language skills. The email format is pretty clunky; just bounce them off to Skype/WhatsApp or whatever else you use. Keep in mind the site mostly attracts an age range of 18-25, so if you're much older than that, you may want to adjust your age down a bit (you can limit who contacts you by age range/country, things like that). There are a lot of guys with really bad game on the site and the women can be a bit defensive.

I use iTalki too...it's great!

I also vouch for italki, I actually found out about it after I read a post on the forum by Roosh or it was on ROK.
It's good for learning, I'm learning Russian and as an English speaker I have allot of messages daily from both young girls and guys too who really want to learn English, I have like 400 followers, I never even need to search as I regularly get messages daily.

Facebook has dedicated language exchange groups in many cities. I've gotten a few bangs through LE but it was mainly with girls who were not very useful when it came to teaching me their local language, so I ended up banging them in order to get some benefit out of it.

Travesty · 02-17-2015 10:59 PM

I researched this advice.

Thanks guys.

italki wins big time at least while looking at the surface I set up a lesson with a Colombian native tutor my age who lives in Barranquila for $4 for 30min. Not a bad deal I could 8hrs a month for $64. If he's good I will do it.

Plus people are already messaging me to chat.

This site is wonderful. I am going to try and schedule several sessions a week with different Colombians as that is the pussy den I am trying rout with massive collateral damages.

Travesty · 02-17-2015 11:05 PM

So! On to the Game aspect aphelion, I can't fool you:

Colombian girls were by far the hottest when I seached for females looking to learn English in all of Latin America.

Brazilians had good bodies, many butterfaces.

Same with DR...

Mexico has a big fat problem same as USA I don't like it. Brazil on a sample of this site also has a fat problem.

In Europe:

Russia fucking crushed everyone almost comical how much hotter these girls are on average.

Ukraine was a close second...

Romania and Czech Rep. distant 3rd's

Asia:

I dig them, but almost zero hot chicks for any country I looked at sadly. I am positive if I scrolled much more I'd have to run into hot chicks for China at least there has to be a ton wanting to learn English.

I've been on and off SharedTalk for a year and a bit now (maybe once every couple months?), as a guy who "Speaks English and Learns Mandarin". I only accept conversation requests from girls, and at the end of a convo I get her WeChat.

I have what I think are 4-5 girls in China who want to meet up, not ugly but definitely not stunners, but I have no way of knowing whether they're DTF or not. And they're all in different cities.

I have a low-level interest in learning Mandarin. If I was only trying to game/pipeline I would rate this method a collosal waste of time.

For game, in all parts of the world there are far more efficient ways to meet local girls.

I want to ramp up my French and maybe get my Spanish going too. I am also interested in a good site and to speak with those with fluency.
