I am teaching English to a Russian student and he asked me if there were any sites where people go online - like a chat room, but especailly to improve their language skills.
He would be wanting to practise his english. I suggested an ordinary chat room, friend making place, but he rightly said that perhaps it might not be so interesting for the other person if they wanted to make small talk and you wanted to know how to conjugate a verb in the past perfect...!
Does any one know any sites like this?
It would be a good resource to practise my French too!
Thanks, Colette

Me I need to keep my German current, I can talk French or English as well.
I am thinking about Shawn (Berlin) idea, evenings chatting (real, not typing on computer) in the language people want to practice. As long as it is in a nice place and not in a stinking squat!!
Who would be in for this idea?

A couple of possibilities:
[url=http://www.livemoca.com][/url]
[url=http://myhappyplanet.com/register.php?refid=pNEGLdWo][/url]
Try a couple of Google searches using keywords like English Russian chat etc.
If he/she can find someone who wants to chat (via any means), they just need to get set up on Skype (it is free) and it is free to talk for hours if they want (computer to computer). If they go the Skype or other chat route, I would suggest they get a set of inexpensive speakers and a Logitech mic that sits on the desk. I find it more comfortable than a headset.

The url link button is really not working.
Here are the two sites. Just do a cut and paste.
