First off, this is just an idea. And if there already is something like this on the site that I've missed, then I'll close
this thread. There are a few websites that set you up with native speakers of your TL, and you do a 50:50 language exchange, where you speak their TL (your native language) for a while, then vice-versa. I've tried a few of these, and found that either you have to pay, or they aren't very reliable. Do you think we could set up a similar system through HTLAL, where people give their Skype name, TL, native language, and then set up language exchanges? Once again, if there's already something like this that I've missed, let me know. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's a reasonable question, although there is a thread somewhere that deals with this.
I'm not being funny, but check out the forum search facility, as it will be as quick (or quicker) for you to find it that way, as for me to find it, as I can't remember where it is. Having said that, I'd got the impression that people weren't often finding Skype partners all that readily via the thread in question, or if they were, it wasn't being made public. Not that I want to put you off. You might use that thread (when you find it), or you could just ask in this general discussion area.

Being the proud author of the foregoing thread ;), I've managed to locate it pretty
easily: http://www.how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.a sp?TID=6249 (remember to remove the additional space between 'a' and 's') I'm actually looking for Skype partners myself, offering native Polish and advanced German in exchange for Spanish, French, Dutch or native-like English. Just talking in EN/DE/FR (no ulterior learning motives ;)) would also be nice. Edited by Julie on 10 August 2012 at 10:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There have been these threads http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=16000&PN=0&TPN=1 http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=6249&PN=1 and there's a tandem search function.
Very few of the members here need practice in English though. Best write about yourself and your interests in the multilingual lounge and get acquainted with natives on facebook and/or twitter. It might be a good idea to converse in writing first, as there's time to think about WHAT to say and HOW to say it, while during a live conversation you sorta have to choose, resulting in incorrect impressions of your level or personality. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

tandem search has two flaws 1.it is for paying members only (even though it would be
nearly worth paying, had it worked properly) 2.it doesn't make difference between active and long gone members i'm going away for two weeks now, but after that, i would love to continue my search for skype languge exchange partners. so if anyone with my target as native or high level language would like to practice their Czech, i'll be excited to participate :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Aw, I didn't realize you have to pay to see the usernames. You can find the people via G-search though. And the most recent/most active members option is available without paying.

There are other threads on Skype tandem exchange in the Internet Resources Subforum, so I will move thread into this subforum.
