Great site. I've learned a lot from it have a lot more open to me since being a member. As Derrick said, the chat system in place is just bad. While I would normally say leave it to the big guys like AIM and MSN and such to handle the messaging, however what would be nice is a more community chat option rather than a one-on-one. This is especially true for groups, as it can be difficult to have real community discussions in real time, and the current threaded discussion methods are a bit clumbsy. I remember before they were testing a chat room, but I never saw anyone else online on it. I think that kind of thing would be nice, or a group chat option or something. It would also help to build a more tight-knit italki community.

One photo of Derrick is definitely ENOUGH! The chat thing is really horrible. That should either be fixed or stopped. Some sort of bulletin board or forum would be nice! Maybe more Nigerian scams too!

i think all good things , so that i'm here ....

oh it's a great site. it's some thing that perform your language. i really improved my english and start to say ni hao ma. it's good for a start no! the chat i agree totaly with mytch it would be nice to have a chat group. i think the chat is the only thing bad here. it's an perfect site. CONGRATULATION CHINA. a_a

Being able to meet and talk to people all over the world for language exchange for free! I check italki everyday. Italki chat client does suck though and having the ability to put up more than one photo would be a plus.
