Why is so difficult for me to find someone in italki to exchange conversation?
Hi people!
I created an account in italki to find someone to exchange conversation with. I sent messages to people who I saw conected in that moment and who according to their profile were interested in learning spanish. People are very nice and almost everybody replied my messages. However I haven't got an skype conversation yet. Many people told me that they dind't have skpype set up in their computer. Then, how do they intent to exchange conversacion online? Downlouding Skype and creating and account is very easy. Do you have any advise?
I hope I'll find a language partner soon ;)

Thank you guys. I agree with you. If you already have other language partners or you don't have time this is a good answer. There's no problem to say no. And the time difference could sometimes be a limitation too. In fact, writting this note it's been a way to say "hi, I'm here, who wants to speak?" and it's working ;)

Hello Gemma, If you would like, I could do an intercambio with you. But as Adam says, it is sometimes hard to find a good time when two busy adults can meet online, especially when there is a 6 hour time difference to take into account.

Hi Gemma, Keep trying and you will find someone. I always feel bad when someone asks me and I have to say no. But as an example, right now I have formal lessons 5 days per week and weekly skype conversations with 3 people (Mexico, Costa Rica, and Columbia), so it's just a matter of not having enough time. Keep writing posts and correcting other peoples posts and you will find someone. All of the people I am talking with either corrected one of my posts or I corrected one of theirs and then we started to skype. Good luck!
