Sugestions for language exchanges

Hello everyone! I want to ask you about your experience exchanging languages. We all know that it's not so easy to find language partners but after days trying finally I've been able to have some Skype calls exchanging my Spanish or Catalan with English. It has been really good experience and I hope that I can do it often.


Of course is natural when you meet people to talk about yourself: why do you want to learn languages, what do you do, hobbies, about your city, etc. But when you pass this phase, you have to speak about something, right? 


I want to be more helpful and also make the most to myself this exchanges and I'm thinking of some kind of metodology or exercise. Thats why I'd like to know if anyone have tried to do something different like a choose specific topics before the conversation or some exercise to practice and improve some specific point.

Thanks!!

When you are learning a language Hello fellows! I want to share with you a personal opinion about learning languages and I also take the oportunity to write a text that can be corrected.I'm currently studying English and although I am very motivated, sometimes I feel a little frustration because there are days that I don't know why I can speak more fluent (being conscient of my level) but other days I feel quite blocked and the words doesn't want to go out. I'm trying every time to translate almost everything that I say in Spanish or in my mind I think: "how I would say this or the other..." and always I find the way to say that in English. In my opinion we should to practice outloud at least 10 minutes everyday and if it's possible with a native speaker that can correct your mistakes and pronunciation because only reading and doing exercices in a book or Internet although are good too, you only will learn reading and writting but you'll never improve your speaking. I'm sure that is so obvious and all of you are having the same feelings when you don't have a high level, but we must continue practising and never back down to reach our goals.

"thus" and "like this" Hi, I'm not sure when can I use "thus". I usually use "like this" but I'm not sure if it's mean the same or may be I'm totally confused. Thanks!

Learn many languages I'm member of Italki since very short time. While I have checking the website and watching the profiles of other people I'm surprised because many people are or want to learn a lot of languages at the same time. Now my priority is to learn English but may be when my English will get better enough, I'll try to learn another language like German. But currently I think that if I try to learn both (or more) languages at the same time my head will be explode because I'll mix them in my mind and the most probably I don't know one and the other neither. Perhaps you can combine languages such as English and Japanese, for example, because the difference is so big and most probably you never have confussions between them. It is just my personal opinion and hopefuly some nice person correct this text and all of the mistakes that I'm sure I made it. ;)
