How I met friends on italki On the very first days when I joined italki, I was very excited. I tried to seek everyplace on this web site to read all notebooks, questions, dicussions and to know how to use it. I felt this was too amazing and brand new to me. I checked the suggested friends list and read many profiles, then started to be hesitant about sending requests! Finally I decided to ask 2 persons, 2 girls as I remember, who were learning Vietnamese and seems could help me with my English. But only 1 girl accepted me and added me on Skype. We talked once then she didn't contact me again. Maybe because of my terrible English or my unexpected teaching skills. I don't know. The other girl replied me but she said she was too busy, and till now, we still haven't had any conversation.That's it ! I was dissapointed and lost my interest on italki... Then suddenly he added my Skype, started a conversation with me first and encouraged me to talk in English. I was absolutely impressed by him. Thank u a lot my friend :) I wrote a notebook to express my feelings then many members had seen it and texted me! I have some new friends! I felt excited again and wrote some more questions and dicussions... and I have more friends...They found me, like fate? I haven't talked much to all of them but I found some really good friends who I can talk for many hours. So now, I keep on writing to get attentions and make more friends ^_^ . But sometimes I have to refused friends requests. I've felt very bad about that and hope they don't mind... How great it is to find out his web site and experience many new things! For my first and best friend: I know you were to lazy to come here and read my notebook. I also know that I have talked to you about my feelings many times but I still feel it is not enough to show my love to you. You help me in English, but more than that, you help me understand my self and support me to change my life. I feel comfortable and safe. And I can trust you with all my heart even though we have just known each other for about 1 month. This part is kind of too romantic and weird, I know. But I am sure enough you would not read this so I can write down freely all my thoughts :p
