Returning to italki

I have decided to use italki again because my English is still at the same level since I arrived in the UK last year (maybe it has improved a bit). And Other overseas students' English is higher than ours (Chinese students and a Taiwanese student) in my class. Meanwhile, I want to get a job in the UK after I graduate this year -- whatever it is. I just want to stay here for another two or three years. So I think if I can practice it more than now (I often stay with my Chinese friends, so I speak Chinese more than English), then I will have a better opportunity to get a job here, or at the very least I can get a good job when I go back to China :)

So I'm going to start using italki once or twice a week now. Also, if any British person wants to learn Chinese, we can meet up in England!

Restarting to use Italki :)

I agree that just being in a country doesn't help you learn the local language by itself, you need to make an effort to interact with local people and find people to have regular communication with.
