I really want to do language exchange. The problem is, very few people are learning my native language. So the only language I can teach for exchange is English. But here comes the problem: am I good enough? How can I understand if I know enough English to teach it to other people? What if my language partner knows more English than me?
Any advices how should I go about it are much appreciated. =]

Are you learning German? I'm sure there are German-speaking people in Bulgaria wanting to learn the language. If not, perhaps you can find someone online, using Skype.

I just did a quick search for Bulgarian over on lang-8.com and found a few learners.

Have you considered looking there?

Thanks for the links, I havent tried those sites yet.
Ive searched for language exchange parnters in quite a lot of sites and all what Ive found is either people who havent logged in for months or people who are learning like 20 languages or both.

Yes, it's about German now, but eventually I'll start learning another language so my problem isnt German related in general.
