He tenido muchos compañeros para intercambios (español/inglés) pero por lo general no hablo a menudo con algunas personas porque es difícil encontrar temas interesantes para los dos. Para mí, creo que es importante encontrar una persona con los mismos pasatiempos porque se pueden hablar en profundidad (in depth?) sobre algunas cosas.
Qué opinas? Te gustaría conocer personas diferentes para aprender nuevas culturas y intereses? O prefieres hablar con personas similares de otras culturas a fin de que puedes tener conversaciones más prácticas y practicar vocabulario útil para tí?
[Lo siento por mi mal español :) ]
I'm curious if it's worth it to pay for a tutor or is it better to get lucky and find a commited language partner? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I have always had language partners but it is easy to get lazy and talk about the same stuff over and over. On the other hand, I feel it's more personal than a teacher and it's more like talking to a friend than a teacher. And it's free!
I've never even considered a tutor until now. For those that have used one, how were your experiences? Do you think it's worth it? What was not so great about it?
For those that strictly talk with language partners, how do you continue learning without getting complacent? What do you wish you could change about it?
Any tutors/professors reading this, feel free to comment!
I'm done rambling haha. Have a good day l, everyone!
