The reason why I am not following anyone back. Hello everyone (^_^). I hope that all of you are doing fine :). I am sorry for not following anyone back; actually I have two major reasons for doing so. The first one; The people who are from the same country as me and they speak my native language and want to learn English (the same language that I am learning). I won’t follow them back, because I can’t teach you English. The whole purpose of Italki is to learn the language from a native speaker; so I am not useful to you. It will be better if you follow a native speaker. After all I won’t be good as a native. The second one; for the people who are English native speakers and want to learn my native language (Arabic). I am sorry, I won’t follow you back. The reason is that I came across two discussion forums in Italki discussing what to expect or the qualities of a language partner. Sadly, I don’t have the qualities to be a good teacher. That’s why; I said that I shouldn't follow anyone back and give them the chance to find someone who is better than me. After all I want all of you to be fluent in the language you are learning; I also don’t want to waste your precious time with me. These are the reasons why I am not following anyone but if you still want to follow me; it’s okay. You are free to follow the person you prefer. The last reason is: Sometimes I am not free because I am still studying and after finishing this year (I hope so), I will be looking for a job. Anyway it’s a minor reason. Thank you so much for reading my notebook entry (^_^). Have a good day.

From my perspective, choosing not to follow someone that follows you, or otherwise helping them on italki, is just being selfish and lazy. The whole purpose of italki is for native speakers to help others learn their language... WHETHER THEY ARE A TEACHER OR NOT. Most of us are BUSY people. It would seem that SOME people only want to be on italki ONLY to get what they can from others, whilst giving nothing in return. How sad!
