I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to find some more partners who speak Mandarin
natively and/or German natively, but I've had a hard time finding people to practice with. Any idea for sites for this? I used to use Livemocha, but I haven't been there since Rosetta Stone bought them out, and I've already put up a listing on fluentin3months. Any suggestions for sites for finding free language conversation partners? For Spanish in the past, I got the first few out of luck. And for Russian I had already met a bunch of Russian-speakers prior to Livemocha's buyout. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

If you try typing "language exchange" into Google you find the following sites in the top-5:
http://www.mylanguageexchange.com http://www.conversationexchange.com http://www.easylanguageexchange.com http://www.italki.com/partners http://www.interpals.net/language_exchange.php Coincidentally, they're sites you commonly see recommended for this sort of thing. Another site generally recommended that isn't a top response on Google is http://polyglotclub.com/ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Try finding Chinese speakers through QQ messenger (like Skype, but popular in China).

You could also try the Tandem-Server of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
As an English native speaker your language skills are pretty much in demand there, as you can see from this table. Currently 33 native Chinese speakers are looking for an English partner (and there is only 1 available), and 55 German speakers still have to be paired up with an English speaker (and there are only 26 wanting to learn German). So I think you have a good chance of finding someone there. Hope this helps! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

This is very helpful, thank you.
I couldn't find the "partner" section of italki, but I did find a lot of Chinese speakers via Mixxr. (mylanguageexchange.com) Edited by KeithS on 12 December 2014 at 8:37pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I think Chinese-English language exchange is pretty easy to find. Chinese come to me, even though I'm not studying Chinese. Know your time zones, figure out when Chinese people are awake and look then.

If you're on the main site and logged in, you will find the tab "Language partners" under "Community". 1 person has voted this message useful |
