The true is that Italki become really comercial, it was different a few years ago, and now a 70% of the partners here are looking for a relationship or looking pretty faces to make "friends", not for just learn.

In other webs its the same, so the work here is looking for the other 30% of partners, who have creatives ideas, that are constants and that can help you to learn.

 I personally have a whatsapp group for this objetive, its FREE I am a student like you.

In my home I have a cat, it's about 3 years old. It is fat, healthy, naughty and lazy. The cat in village is meant to capturing mouses, not a pet. It was so lazy even not move when the mouses pass right before it. So, the mouses in house become more and more fat and big. In this time, the weather is cold, it found some warm places to stay, for example my bed. That's not allowed. :( Anyway it can always makes itself comfortable. I think that's why it could live so long. We raise a lot of cats before, even one that works hard at capturing mouse, that one would not live above one year. The lazy ones would live longer until they made some trouble outside. However, we never keep the cats in house, let them come and go, so they never die in their old age.
Today, I found it every time I cook breakfast. The cat would capture my feet with its feet. When it becomes irritable, it even bites my feet. I can not get rid of it because of it close steps. At the end, I had to share my breakfast with it, rice noddles. :)

"She" is used to persons.

"It" is for things, included animals.

I really want to help you more but I am still a beginner too.

We can learn together little by little ;).
