I joined the webside for more than one year. So I just want to tell you the feeling of myself. Hope can help you learn a new language. First, if you have an elementary level of new language, maybe can help me communicate.(because not all of people will tell you the basis, but will correct your mistakes when talking or writing) Furthermore, you have to learn by yourself, when run into any problem, please do not hesitate to ask your language friends. I think they will give you a hand . And if you a lucky beggar, maybe can find a teacher in here. Appoint a time to teach you a real class via msn or skype----mic /webcam. By the way, maybe you should teach them too. hehe In short, try to gain the initiative,rather than wait others to find you. Good luck and have a pleasant journey of learning. Jessica
