does anybody know of any websites where people who want to practice a particular foreign language can arrange a swap with a native speaker of it who wants to learn theirs. i.e. i speak english and if i want to polish up say my erm polish (sorry, inadvertant pun there) i can do this by having a chat half in english half in polish. later you can correct each other which is not something it's very polite to do on normal social sites. think this could be extremely useful if neither is yet in the country they plan to visit.

I am not absolutely clear about what you are asking, but still this site may help you....
No, am not going to put the link here. I am allergic to it!
Just try the name: polyglot-learn-languages.. I call it polyglot only and don't remember the exact address. Got some really interesting people to learn french, Spanish, and what-not from....
Have you heard of this one before? 'Coz it's really really good.
again: find people there and then invite them to your personal messenger. That's the way! Good Luck

[checks responders country] hiya india. thing is i checked what sites were already there and thought they all could do with improvement, now i'd guess you can speak hindi - how though could different alphabets work?

OK as long as the pun was inadvertent, cus otherwise I wouldn't believe all your protestations about being allergic to puns...
Would be cool if there were such a site...

sorry but i don't really know either. come back here in an hour or so and hopefully there will be some suggestions. be very useful for me and for some of my students (i teach english). got a vague idea about setting one up myself if there isn't a good one already out there.

Nope, I haven't seen anything like that. You have a great idea though, maybe you should start one if there isn't one already.
