mixxer

one of my never-ending quests as someone who is trying to learn a foreign language is finding arab speakers to practice with. my tutor is great, and he helps me a lot. but i still get excited whenever i find a new arab to try to talk to.

earlier this week i happened upon mixxer, an online matching service designed to pair up speakers and learners of different languages. so speaker of language A who wants to learn language B gets matched with speaker of language B who wants to learn language A. the matched pair can then skype each other to practice.

(via i don't remember... sorry)
