Sometimes you have to talk in your L2 with other people learning the same language. In some countries, the immigrants may only know their native tongue and the language of the country they have immigrated to.

Of course, it really is important to get as much exposure to native speakers as possible when learning the language since there really is no substitute for a native speaker, especially when the language in question is a difficult one where few people attempt to learn as a second language.

2. The purpose of conversing with your classmates is surely to practise SPEAKING, not listening. It doesn't matter very much what your friends actully say, as long as you get a context where you are forced to produce sentences in the target language.


The problem is you come across as a total asshole if you don't pay attention to what the other person is trying to say.
