Social networks It seems to be hip to have all kind of social networks and feel that we are conected receiving information 24 x 7, even though if these are used just to show off and share with others photos of each insignificant moment of our ordinary lifes, such as “today´s meal”, “my new hair cut”, “my boring face studying for an exam”, etc. This no sense drove me to cancel all my social accounts to stop being part of what I considered, time-waster networks. No sooner had I refused to use them than I discovered Italki, which it made me changed my opinion towards social networks, at least not to judge equally all of them. Italki shows the educational potencial of networks, somenthing that sincerely I didn´t belive in. In my city it is really hard to find english native speakers to practise speaking skills, and when you find someone don´t panic for the budget. They know they are in demand and they try to take advantage of it, as I would do too. But for the first time, internet put me in contact with native speakers who are interested in learning my language too. A simple, efficient, productive and cheap way to find a solution and as if this were not enough, it encourages community work, what else could I ask? By the way...I dont work for Italki ;-)
