Finding a language partner Finding a language partner is terrible. I'm here more than a week, but still haven't got anybody to talk with. I spend a couple of hours every day trying to find someone for conversation, but have not managed to find anyone. As any normal person I understand, that it should be a fair exchange, so I always offer 50/50 conversations for those English speakers, who are interested in learning Russian, but it seems to me that the site is dead. Nobody is anwering the messages. I'm not sure, is this because something is wrong with my profile or do i miss something?

I'm sorry you're having difficulty finding someone to speak with in English. I think the problem is that most people I know in the US are trying to learn Spanish, not Russian. If I weren't learning Mandarin, I would love to practice with you. I wish you the best of luck. At the very least, I can help by correcting your paragraph...

Finding a language partner is terribledifficult. I'm I've been here more than a week, but still haven't got found anybody to talk with to. I spend a couple of hours every day trying to find someone for conversationto talk to, but have not managed to find anyone. As any normal person I understand, that it should be a fair exchange, so I always offer 50/50 conversations for those English speakers, who are interested in learning Russian, but it seems to me that the site isn't going to be helpful to me (or something like this - I wouldn't use the word dead) dead. Nobody is answering the my messages. I'm not sure, Is this because something is wrong with my profile or do did I miss something?

I will agree with all the answerers here, there aren't many native english speakers who'd like to learn Russian and those who do are interested in professional tutoring or they just publish their homeworks here for professional teachers to check. Keep searching though, italki has new memebrs every day!

Thank you for leaving a comment, Antonio. No offence, but I'm looking for a native speaker because I am really motivated and i can express myself in English good enough, but need someone to correct the mistakes I make, epsecially in pronunciation.
