ESN Language Exchange Buddies!

Everyone knows that learning a language from books will only teach you half of what you need to know. The real way to get better is to practice, practice and practice! And since a book is so boring to talk to, here's an alternative - a language buddy!

Here's the basic idea: you already know at least one language (like English or Spanish), and you're taking a course in or trying to get better at another language (for example Swedish). And there is someone else out there who already knows the language you want to practice (like Swedish), and wants to practice the language you already know (like Spanish). For both of you to get better, all you need to do to is meet and talk!

Taking part in the exchange is super-duper easy. Just fill out this form at http://users.abo.fi/esn_info/esnform.html and then wait while we pair you up. You both get each others e-mail addresses, and then it's entirely up to you how often and where you meet with your language buddy.

So if you want to improve your language skills in a fun and easy way, take part of the language exchange now and get a language buddy!
