I have found the Italki team very encouraging & quick to reply. Friends have been very thoughtful and courteous. Norman was the first one to reply to my initial post and gave me & others excellent advice.

hi everyone,
i just want to say that
i'm very happy to be part of the italki family.
i spend more time talking with you all
than with my actual blood relatives.
thank you all for being here.

Hey everybody,
Actually,it's very difficult to describe my happiness and excitement using some words,but let me try.
In the very begining,i thought that italki is just a website which can be used only for exchanging languages,but what i figured out is that it's not just a website,it's a place where you can meet the friends you've ever wanted to meet,share the moments you've ever wanted to share,and immerse yourself in the experience you've ever wanted to go through......this is the italki "from my point of view" :)
it's not enough to say that peaple here are far more of respectful,friendly,helpful and considerate...
what i can say is that "italki is the most useful and constructive websitse not only for exchanging languages,but for finding true friends as well :)
and I'M PROUD to be part of this huge experience ;)
THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIENDS :)
