This brings back memories of my language exchange experiences. Chinese people usually message me on Skype, even though I try to explain to them that I am learning Japanese.

A Taiwanese person messaged me a couple days ago, and tried to explain (in broken English, over a bad microphone) a mathematical equation explaining the flow of electricity in computers. That was interesting, to say the least.

I hate language exchanges. Yes, I tried them. And yes, I’ve met nice people but I’m only still in contact with the ones who don’t use me as an ‘English-pump’. I answer some questions now and then, but most of the time our conversations end up being in the target language (in my case Spanish).

The people I have the best conversations with are the natives I met when I was in Spain. They only speak Spanish so that’s only good for me I guess, hehe. I know it’s a bit selfish but it’s just brutal speaking half an hour English, half an hour Spanish (or any other language you study).

So I’m NOT THE ONLY ONE skeptical of language exchanges!!

Additionally, if I somehow end up in Japan, I’m going to claim to be Latvian and not American so that people don’t think to use me as an English Pump.

Part 1: no. 4 and no.6 always seemed like a good idea. I guess I won’t be doing that.
