Find a language partner is painful. But I won't give up It seems to me that it's close to impossible to find someone here, but I also know that it's not true. Last time I was lucky enough to find a friend on italki who lived in Moscow (hi, Alice, if you're reading this). Unfortunately she moved to Spain a year ago, so I gave up after a couple of attempts. After a long brake I decided to resume, so now I looking for a language exchange partner but don’t hold out much hope though. I think it's so difficult not only because some people are not really serious when it comes to learning languages, but also because there are much more people who want to learn English than people learning Russian. I suppose most of the English native speakers receive tens or even more messages during a single online session and it's very difficult to reply to all of them, but I won't give up. Have a nice day ;)
