This is the first essay that I am writing. I want to say a little about learning a new language. It is a fact the learning of a new language that is very important and needed in the world today. According to my practical experience just using facilities like movies, books, etc. [etc. means etcetera - for example writing thing1, thing2, ... can be written thing1, thing2, etc.] is not enough. What learners need is to be connected with native speakers [this line was correct but sounded off]. I think it would be very useful knowning that who you are writing and speaking with is a real person, not a typed voice or a machine. It is psychological, I think.
If I were in the Italki administrators's shoe, I would add an item in which we can save our voice recording (about 1-3 minutes) and then others can correct it like what we can do for writing. (who knows, maybe I will suggest it someday).

[After '.', the next letter is a capital]

This is a very good idea (I don't have a camera, so I can't talk [speech] to native speakers, so this audio messaging feature would be awesome! :D
