iTalki - MySpace for Language Exchange

iTalki Logo
iTalki is a social network built around language exchange. The site´s main aim is to foster language learning and help people:

- Find language partners (language exchange, study buddies, teachers)
- Communicate with them (using skype, msn, yahoo, talkbox etc)
- Find language resources (podcasts, websites, videos, dictionaries, books etc)
- And Participate in language forums.

Language exchange happens when two people take turns speaking the other person´s native language, ultimately learning each other´s language. In the language based communities you could ask question´s about spelling, pronunciations etc of a specific language and build your skills and vocabulary.

iTalki is based in Shanghai, China.

Pretty cool idea. Somes guys in SHanghai made it? No wonder why so many CHinese people on it. I figure if you want to learn Chinese, it’s really the place to go.

Very cool. I see that they’ve added some other features besides the whole language exchange feature. The RSS links are pretty cool.
