Thanks to all English native speakers :)
I just wanted to say "thank you" to all English native speakers who help us/English learners. I mean they don't gain any profit from helping us. They are really helpful and this is something great for the people who can't have a chance of going to English speaking countries. To practice the language you study is really entertaining. However, I wonder the situation from the perspective of English native speakers. I wonder how they feel about this situation, to be expected to help/talk to people all the time. Sometimes I think about how the world would be if Turkish(my native language) was spoken all over the world. I don't know, but it would be boring for me, I guess :p

For me, correcting and helping people learn English has heightened my awareness of English. I love the challenge of thinking why a certain combination of words feels wrong, which happens because non-native speakers are much more creative with their combinations of words! Also, I want to become an English teacher in China, so this explanation process is quite useful to me.

I think its great to be able to help others, and its only fair, since I have found so many willing to help me with Turkish. The sense of community here continues to amaze me. Italki is a great resource for the 21st century language learner.

As a native English speaker, it makes me feel guilty sometimes that so many people know my language while I don't know theirs. It is nice that so many people know my language and that we can communicate, but it still bugs me that they've learned my language, but I haven't learned theirs. Hopefully one day my Turkish will be good enough that my friends don't feel the need to start speaking in English when they want to express something complex.

I like making friends around the world. The only people I don't like are the rude ones who think you work for them, "do my university paper by tomorrow, thanks. I don't see why I should have to pay for it". But I admire everyone who is learning any language. I also learn from the students.

The people here impress me. I like it when non native speakers here give correcting a shot.
