Yes, italki does really work, but only if you work at it as well. I have learned much about the language I am studying from friends I have made here, as well as learned more about their cultures. But you can not expect people to teach you and then do nothing for them in return. You must instruct them as well. If you do this I know you will enjoy your membership here.

Hello Upsara, Yes it works if you find the suitable language partner ,who you can help and he or she could help you in return. It doesn't help much, if you are a newbie or learning the language from the scratch, it is more for practicing what you already know and adding up to your vocabulary and enhancing your accent through written and oral voice chat .
