Well, I see your thought in two aspects.
First of all, speaking of what people don't want to spent time with new friends on italki, maybe they are not used to communicating with strangers or they're focusing on their study. So they don't feel much they need such a sharing or connection by communication.
Secondly, the reason that people don't study or share with non-native speaker, it could be a matter of prejudice. For instance, if someone is going to learn English, he/she tends to look for only native speaker, who is from USA, UK or other countries using English as mother tongue. But there are still many people who speak English very well even though they're non-native speakers. If the learner is a beginner, literally a real beginner, fluent non-native speaker could be a good teacher and a friend. Beginners often feel difficulties in speaking with native speaker at the beginning. It means they need some time to practice the target language with no fear or hesitation. It's critical to keep practicing it every single day. Actually I got started English conversation with fluent non-native speaker, and she's still the one of my best friends. Eventually, we need to have an open mind to learning language. :)

So it's more often used in the social life than literally eating "밥". For instance, your team is going to have a dinner, and then have a drink at the bar. But if you're busy or you don't feel like having alcohol, and if you're embarrassed or hesitating, your company would tell you like that. Meanwhile. "밥만 먹으면 돼요" means, all you care about is that you just have a meal. So you don't have to worry about drinking, clubbing or something. You can go home after dinner. In conclusion, those sentences mean people consider your choice or situation, not to push you. Hope it helped you! :)0 votedMay 1, 20151
- Generally, it's used as a highlight in the conversation. You can omit "말이야". It's a kind of two different sentences. " 지연이 (말이야), 이번 여름에 유럽으로 배낭여행 간다더라." (You know what, Jiyeon is going to go backpacking to Europe this summer.) " 내 말은 (말이야), 서진이가 우릴 생일파티에 초대했다는 거야. " (I mean, Seojin invited us to his birthday party) Meanwhile, in this case, you cannot omit it in the sentence. They're all single sentence. " 딸기 케이크가 정말 맛있단 말이야. ( You know, the strawberry cake is really delicious! ) " 그냥 집에 있을래. 정말 피곤하단 말이야. " (I'll just stay at home. You know, I'm so tired.)0 votedDecember 8, 20140

Good bye.0 votedOctober 19, 20141- "바꾸다" is a transitive form, it needs the objective in the sentence. In fact, most of sentences you use are active. For instance, I'm going to change my swimsuit, it's quite old. -> 저는 수영복을 바꿀려고 해요. 꽤 오래됐거든요. I'd like to exchange dollars to euros. -> 달러를 유로화로 바꾸고 싶어요.(or 환전하고 싶어요) Meanwhile, "바뀌다" is an intransitive and a passive form. It doesn't need the object in the sentence. For instance, The world is changing so fast, full of digital gadgets, sometimes people miss analog. -> 세상은 빠르게 바뀌고(or 변하고) 디지털 기기들로 넘쳐나지만 사람들은 가끔 아날로그를 그리워해요. He has totally changed. So kind and positive. -> 그는 완전히 바뀌었어요. 정말 친절하고 긍정적이에요.0 votedSeptember 9, 20140

The Health Benefits of Pu-Erh Tea
Pu-erh is one of my most favorite teas. Besides the taste I drink pu-erh for the health benefits. There are many health benefits and one of them is digestion. In addition pu-erh is also good at lowering cholesterol. There are two types of pu-erh, raw and ripe. Raw is better for cholesterol and ripe is better for digestion.0 votedSeptember 8, 20140
