I feel that learning a language is not aimless chatting,

I feel that studying a language online should not just be aimless chatting. Instead, it can be planned to enhance learning. For instance: if we both choose a topic and prepare conversation on this topic, then appoint a time to communicate via skype and correct each other's phrases and pronunciation,it could be very effective.

I believe that we are all here to improve our language skills. Why not use this efficient method and also help each other? I hope to find a language partner who really wants to exchange language contact with me.

I have similar experience to you and I failed at the beginning of finding a language partner . Now I change my strategy to talk with my language partners . First of all, you are not always asking native English speakers to practice with you as most of them would be so frustrated and bored by your fragmented sentences . For most of us , the level of speaking english is far lower than native speakers unless that one has different intention to speak to you .Secondly , Both of you had better share similar goals during the road of learning English . I intend to pass IELTs test in the future months , so I want to find a language partner with similar goals or intention . At least , he has to know what I am trying to do. Finally , you cannot expect your partners have the same level in English as you .You may talk and listen , try to find some way to enhance your english , respect , tolerate your partners and never push your partners anyway . You will get improved and make a progress as long as you reflex from every conservation . However, it is not so fast as you expect . Time is the biggest enemy to English learners especially in the scope of speaking and listening . That is my personal experience.

If you can agree on my point , join me,I have 2-3 language partners to practice speaking on a regular schedule.
