How to become a good language partner ?
many people on italki want to improve they langue they want to learn ,we add many people but communicate with few . Some people add me on skype and Wechat because of the different time zone ,but most of time we aren't online at the same time ,we don't communicate . Different people have their own work and life ,many people dislike people who ask about their personal work and life ,i also know that asking things about people's personal things is not good and may be rude. As a partner, we don't know anything about you, and we can't talk about the personal things like work , life, or family. The question is: What we can talking about ? Weather? Country things ?In my opinion, a good partner should be a good friend, we can talk anything we want , we should know a bit about our life or work Then we can talk as friends, communicate more and more, get language practice from life, work, other funny things, and so on. Without communication, there is no practice, and without practice, we don't improve.

How to becoming a good langue partner ?
Many people on italki wants to improve their target language. We add many people, but communicate with a few. Some people add me on Skype and Wechat, but because of the difference in time zone, most of time we're not online at the same time. As a result, we barely communicate with each other. Different people have their own work and life. Many people dislike when other people ask them something about their personal work and life. I also believe that asking people about personal things are not good and may be rude. As a partner, we don't know anything about you ,and since we can't talking about the personal things like work ,life ,family ,a question that arises is what we can talking about? Should we talk about the weather, or our own culture?In my opinion ,the premise of a good partner should be a good friend.We should be able to talk about anything we want. We should know something about our lives or work ,then we can talk like friends, thus, we communicate more and more with each other. The language practice occurs when we talk about life ,work and other funny things. If we don't communicate, we have no practice, and we don't improve.

I agree with you. I have met many foreigners from Italki and mylanguageexchange, but I don't talk to 70 % of them on a daily basis. Whenever I meet friends through these websites, I don't only intend to undertake some sort of professional business encounter, but I also would like to become friends with them. Of course, we don't talk about really personal information, but I think what makes me talk to the remaining 30 % is the trust and connection that we develop with each other. Connection can be acquired if my partner and I are on the same age range, study the same area in University, loves a similar sport etc. I guess I would rather talk to 4 or 5 people, but become really good friends with them, that if I ever visit their country, they can help me navigate around, rather than talk to 20 + people, whom I really don't know about on a personal level. Whenever I talk to a partner, and I notice that I basically propel the whole conversation, I usually don't talk to them again because they don't seem to try to know each other, thus, friendship cannot be created.
I believe that you should aim for a few group of people,but make sure you form friendships with them.
