Language Exchanges

I would like to talk a little about language exchanges.

I consider them to be a VERY precious tool. Absolutely more than books, movies or any other material.

By that I don’t mean that you will not need to spend some time studying grammar and vocabulary; you should keep on doing that!

But taking part in a language exchange with a native speaker of your target language can offer a lot of advantages:

• You can hear the correct pronounciation of words
• You can hear the natural and real way the language is spoken (books can be sometimes misleading)
• You can have an immediate correction of all your mistakes
• When you will speak in front of another person you will surely try your best to sound good and to show your skills. Your motivation will benefit from this!
• If you are lucky enough, you can find a native speaker of your target language in your home town.
• If you are not lucky enough, you can still have a language exchange using skype!!!
• It’s FREE!

For all these reasons I would absolutely recommend to try a language exchange!!! It could be even just one hour per week, but you will surely benefit from it!
