Hi all,
I recently came across a report showing that none
structured learning methods, such as communication through IM-tools are
one of the most efficient tools for improving peoples language skills.
I need to recommed the service I've been involved in, it's a language community for language exchange, called Lingofriends.com.
It would be interesting to get language teachers and language professionals opinions about the phenomenon; online language exchange?
All the best,
/Peter

Hi all. Lingofriends.com? It sounds good. Especially for people for whom it is the only way to practice their skills in FL and to learn something new.

hi everyone,
I agree with Peter and I think a great advantage of this language exchange sites is that you have contact with "real life language". It is a cool way to learn expressions that people usually use.
