Online Language Exchange? - 01-21-2012, 11:59 AM

Hi all,

First time poster here. Hope all is well around the world.

I'm currently planning a trip to Japan around April to see some family friends and relatives. I haven't been to Japan for about ten years, and haven't spoken in Japanese for about four. Long story short, my Japanese has basically vanished and I'd like to resurrect it to ("where is the bathroom; I am from America;let's grab something to eat") level before I see my relatives for the first time in a decade.

The problem is that I'm having a hard time finding language exchange partners in-person where I am. Not sure what will happen between now and April on that front.

I'm in the process of hiring a tutor, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in practicing Japanese over Skype/phone/online. As an aside, I'd be willing to converse with anyone in Mandarin/English(duh)/Spanish if anyone wants to brush up on those. I'd obviously want to make this as fair of an exchange as I can.

Cheers,
