I get many emails from Mixxer from all kinds of people wanting to learn all kinds of languages. Paradoxically, I never received yet a invitation from someone wanting to invest some time to help me to learn the language I am interested in, which is Bahasa Indonesia in exchange for help in learning English.
That is amazing. there is 240 million Indonesians. Most of them want to learn or improve their English. I am offering my time to help and there is nobody serious enough to take my offer.
I normally use wordchamp to study Indonesian myself. That is very useful yet nothing will replace the live talk with the native speaker. There are plenty of young Indonesian boys and girls that join wordchamp once and then they never come back. Well, learning foreign language requires a lot of serious study and lot of commitment and time.
Will I ever be lucky enough to find a serious and committed partner for my study?
