Hello! My name is Jacob, graduated from an international studies university. I speak Mandarin and English almost without any accent, so I may help you with your pronunciation. I am fond of Spanish as well, but I am not really good at it and need more practice. Definitely wish to meet more friends here. We can improve English/Mandarin/Spanish together. Thanks! 各位好！我是Jacob，我在外语和中文方面都有涉及，而且自认为水平不差（大学期间全校英文演讲比赛第一名，汉语普通话测试一级乙等）。所以无论是在英文口语方面和普通话发音方面都较有优势。目前在学习西班牙语，当然普通话和英语也在不间断地练习。如果想要练习口语，或是一起学习西班牙语，甚至是对普通话发音有任何疑问，都可以与我联系。谢谢！ ¡Hola todos! Me llamo Jacobo. Hablo chino inglés con fluidez y estoy aprendiendo español. Si quieren aprender inglés o chino, podemos hacer intercambio o también ustedes pueden reservar mi clase! Gracias!

Jacob es muy alegre y es agradable hablar con él. Leer le ha ayudado mucho a familiarizarse con el vocabulario, lo cual es muy positivo. Lo que necesita mejorar es el listening pero eso se logra con la práctica. Estoy segura que logrará su objetivo así que lo animo a que continúe practicando la conversación :)

    Hola, my name is Yang, from China. I'm also an italki teacher of English. Now I'm looking for an intermediate/advanced learner, who speaks Spanish at a native(-like) level and wants to polish up his/her English, to do language exchange. However, the method I would like to use is different from what people normally do. It's called "Crosstalk", meaning we just speak in our own language and thus we only LISTEN in the language we want to improve. In doing so, we can get a lot of authentic language without struggling to complete a sentence or making mistakes, and more importantly, have a fun and relaxed conversation. If you are a serious language learner and interested in doing language exchange this way, please contact me😃!

    Hola Orlando! I am trying to learn Spanish by myself and I find its grammar very hard. I come from an international university so my English is okay. I hope to practice languages with you! Many thanks!

    Hey Sol, how are you? I am not a native English speaker though, I study at an international studies university and speak English almost every day. I would like to help you with your English, and if you would like to take the trouble, I also wish for a chance to learn Spanish from you! Thank you! Gracias!

    Well done! Your Chinese is very good. Almost every sentence is grammatically correct and understandable. I think you can start to watch some Chinese dramas or read some basic Chinese books and see how native speakers speak and write. Then you would surely be able to correct yourself when you go wrong at times.

    In China, especially in those provinces which haven't yet enjoyed a high level of civilization, most students are confronted with the same situation as the students in your culture are.

    Usually they won't doubt when the professor goes wrong, instead they put much trust on him or her. Because the professor is often seen as somebody really authoritative and persuasive, he or she will hardly ever judged. And if there indeed are some students observant enough, they will probably choose to remain quiet rather than take risks to embarrass the professor, since it's known they are not equals.

    The smartest students are those who have noticed the errors but temporarily just keep them in mind, intending to tell the professor right after the class or, if they have had a good relationship, texting him or her on their phone, asking politely if everything is given all correct. In such a private way, no one feels awkward. And I believe the professor will correct anything wrong and even make a apology if he or she is also smart.

    By the way, I truly hope the number of both these smart students and professor is now increasing.

    That‘s a very good question.

    I am Chinese and also a crazy language learner, pretty much interested in English and Spanish. From my part, I don't think it really matters whether the teacher is native or not. I can learn a lot from both of the groups.

    While I am being taught by a native speaker, my pronunciation and accent and maybe fluency can improve promptly. At the same time, I am able to know more about the language's culture and history. Speaking in their first tongue is surely easier for the teachers, so that they may be more confident to correct me if necessary.

    However, non-native speakers also have their gift. They have already gone through the way that I am about to experience. So they know what situation I may face, what mistake I may make, and what difficulty may be there waiting for me. There's less likelihood that they would get impatient, because they themselves could have done worse than me if they were at my level. That is why they are more experienced, perhaps, than the natives. In this case, I don't necessarily agree that native language teachers are always the better ones. 

    Oh of course, whether or not the teacher is native is relatively unimportant, if he or she is better-looking and more attractive to me, making me want to see him/her more, and definitely want to learn more, and improvements would be made greater. Haha.
