Exclamation Language Exchange Ads Advice - 09-16-2006, 02:07 PM

Hello Everyone.

This forum is for people to post free language exchange ads. "Language Exchange" means that you help another person learn your language and they help you learn their language.

Here are a few guidelines that might help you to post a better ad:

1. Make the title brief but full of info to help those looking for language exchange. Here is an example of some good ad/thread titles:

English Speaker Looking For Japanese, in Tokyo
Japanese Speaker Looking For English, Online Only
English Speaker Looking for Japanese, Let's Skype


Here is an example of a bad ad/thread title:

Want to exchange language, hurry!

2. In your ad/thread, please tell what language(s) you can offer and what language you are looking for, as well as what method of language exchange you are trying to find. Some people are looking to meet in the real world - if that's what you want, please list the city or area you are looking to meet in. If you want to do online language exchange, explain if you want to do it via chat, PM, IM, Skype, etc.

3. Let people know if you are looking for something specific like UK English, business english, hip-hop English, or anything like that.

4. Although you will likely become friends with people you do Language Exchange with, this is not the friend finding forum. If you are not interested in learning language, just making friends, please use this forum instead.

5. You can use the Japan Forum PM system for replies to keep any info you want private from the board.

Have fun - I will update these suggestions as we go along.
