My single most important issue with this forum is that the multilingual section isn't used far more actively. I have written quite a lot there (and my thanks to those who have written even more), but it is difficult to revive a thread once it has gone into hibernation. Maybe people are just too shy about writing in a language before they are absolutely perfect in it, but I have survived writing in Swedish and Low German which are not even on my language list. Or maybe they don't want to be the first in half a year to write in a certain thread. Never mind, the fact is that most threads in that section either just die ignominously or fizzle out in simple error correction. There is already enough English in the world, so try something else please (... *and now we have reached the final movement).

Unilang.org is a good place for multilingual chat. At least, it's more active...:-)

Yeah, the quality of discussion about learning techniques, etc., pales in comparison to this site, but there are many active members who are well-educated in other languages and the finer points of grammar, etc. And there are almost always people willing to correct your writing in your target language. Quite a helpful addition to this fine website.

I have been using sharedtalk.com quite a bit lately and have found it to be very good. There are chat rooms by language that usually have a number of native speakers in them.
