Experience practicing english with other people Finding nice people to practice with is very hard sometimes. I've used several apps and websites in order to practice my English with natives and I've even practiced with several learners like me. Usually I can practice really well with people who are learners like me, maybe because we share the same goal, but natives speaker, on the other hand, are another story. To be honest, I haven't met many nice native speakers and I haven't met many natives who are as dedicated as me. I'm not sure why. Normally the people whom I like to practice my English with the most are not 100% native or they are not even native, for instance: I met a very nice Slovak girl, a cool Mexican woman who lives in the USA (actually, we just talk for fun because curiously she's not learning Spanish, she's learning Portuguese) an Egytian girl, a half Polish guy who lives in the USA too, a half Jamaican half Cuban girl. Something that bothers me a lot is that usually I'm the one who messages first, on those apps and websites I've used, I'm usually the one who messages first, which is stupid because my female friends say that many people message them first all the time(That's unfair) and oh my god, what a bad luck I have haha, but like I said before, I've met several nice natives as well, but I wish they had been as dedicated as me. Besides I've met many people who had just faded out or they just didn't replay to my messages, which is really annoying, but at least I've learned many things throughout this madness, so I'm sort of happy and I thank all those nice people I've met :) Please correct any mistake, I'll be grateful :)

My experience of practicing English with other people.

Finding nice people to practice with is very hard sometimes. I've used several apps and wedbsites in order to practice my English with native speakers, and I've even practiced with several learners like me. Usually I can practice really well with people who is are learners like me, maybe because we share the same goal. But native speakers, on the other hand, are another story. 

To be honest, I haven't met many nice native speakers and I haven't met many non-native speakers who are as dedicated as me. I'm not sure why. Normally, the people with whom I like to practice my English are not  true native speakers. For instance; I met a very nice slovak Slavic girl, a cool Mexican woman who lives in the USA. (We just talk for fun because, curiously, she's not learning Spanish. She's learning Portuguese.) I also know an Egyptian girl, a half polish guy who also lives in the USA, and a girl who is half Jamaican and half Cuban.

Something that bothers me a lot is that I'm usually the one who messages first on those apps and wedbsites I've used.  This is stupid because my female friends say that many people message them first all the time. (That's unfair.) and Oh my god, what a bad luck I have. Haha! Like I said before, I've met several nice natives speakers as well, but I wish they had been as dedicated as me. I've met many people who just faded out or stopped replying to my messages, which is really annoying. At least I've learned many things throughout this madness, so I'm sort of happy about that. I thank all those nice people I've met. :)

Please correct any mistakes, I'll be grateful. :)

I must say your English is exceptionally good with the follow exceptions. If you study these links, just about all those yellow would have disappeared.

1. Capital letters: https://www.englishclub.com/writing/capital-letters.htm

2. Name of countries starting with the": https://everything2.com/title/Countries+that+start+with+the+word+%2522the%2522

I'm studying Spanish for many years and you can see some of my efforts at

In any case, I liked reading your text, it was interesting.

I can relate though in my case it was a different issue on other websites. If I had found italki before it could have saved me a bit of cash but better late than never. I think it is brilliant that you are speaking with other learners because you can support and encourage and the diversity in the accents will help you realise that no one sounds alike. If you sounded like me I would be concerned because I would no longer be unique. I use wechat and if you would like to message me then I would be delighted to talk with you. I am here because I enjoy talking and listening to people, so it is a social thing for me.
