I found something neat on the net the other day. I was looking for a language translator (that was what I googled :D) and came across this website: www.mylanguageexchange.com, a language exchange community where you can sign up and offer to teach others the language(s) you know and for you to learn another language from whoever is seeking your knowledge. Then, you can seek out 'language partners' whose criteria match whatever lingo you're after based on native language, country, etc. This exchange may be done through email, chat or voice call.
I confess that I am a linguaphile, I get greedy seeing all the possible languages I'd get to learn off people who actually speak the languages I wish to learn. How exciting! So, I signed up in a hurry. Alas, there is always a catch. In order to contact any of those 'language partners', you'd have to have a paid account, d'oh! Now, I don't mind paying a few bucks for it, but I keep making dents on our finance so I thought I'd better not :P. I sighed and hoped one of those upgraded account people would contact me and signed out.
Then today, I received an email saying someone's willing to share a bit of language in exchange for help in English. Yatta! I'll keep you updated on my experience with this language exchange website. I also found another interesting language tool called babylon, it is just superb when you have trouble with long sentences and documents, it translates everything for you in a jiffy. You get a free 3-day trial and then you may either pay a fee of about USD 10 a month or a lifetime fee of USD 100 (or something like that). *hint hint Big Kahuna*. Until next time, ta ra~
