Different Viewpoints I told my classmates about italki but they were not interested. Maybe because they are interested more in Maths and Sciences than in languages. I also told them about my online friends, but they laughed and advised me to be more practical and realistic because this kind of relationships is tricky. They even told me that chatting with foreigners is a wrong and bad behaviour. I didn't listen to them simply because I love italki. I'm grateful to it not only because it allows me to practice my English, but also make friends with wonderful people all over the world. I rarely chat with people but I hope I'll have the opportunity to speak with native speakers in the future, not only to improve my speaking skill, but also to prove that long-distance friendships can also last forever if they are truly built on honesty and love.
