If you had realized, I had different dates format as my title each time coz I don't remember how I wrote in the previous post's title lol. Sometimes it appears as 8/2/16, sometimes 08/02/2016, sometimes 8/2/2016. But OCD humans please bear with me hahah, I didn't really bother bout making it all standardized.
So my first month of the year went off just like this, and now its the second week of February. Don't think that I've accomplished much, but there's still a very long way to go.
Since I've got this perception that no one really reads my blog anyway so it's a good medium for me to communicate with those who do, and for myself since I prefer writing over speaking bout certain stuffs; I'm gonna share my own experience with the website I've found through Google today.
Okay so here's a brief intro to how I happened to stumble to this website which is pretty useful yet pretty damaging for some individuals:
I was searching for some online language courses/language centres for me to learn Korean because I'm planning to travel there by the next winter. Then I was typing in the search box for related terms like "online language course Korean" "Korean classes in KL" "Korean classes in Selangor" and etc., then somehow Google brought me to this language exchange website. And I was like "wow. okay. cool. Really cool" I signed up, filled up necessary details and I was searching for individuals who is willing to teach me Korean, and in exchange I will teach them English/Chinese/Malay/Cantonese. That's the whole purpose of the website: to promote language exchange easily among individuals no matter where they are.
However as much as it sounds like a very useful and cool concept. There are also flaws to it (as usual). I've happened to encounter lots of guys who happens to want a casual chat with ladies and when they've found out that you can't speak Korean at all, they gave up communicating with you. Not a very good learning attitude to me, because I don't mind waiting for explanations and to simplify my English to match their level. But somehow.... yeeah you know.
The possibility of me encountering someone who is serious in exchanging language would be around 1/20? Relatively difficult but somehow yeah I've known someone who is really keen in learning, even more keen than me. So I count myself lucky for this. Of course I was also approached by lots of guys more than females? I would say this was because with the help of profile picture on my Language Exchange profile lol, and that humans still fall for physical appearances eventually.
Overall I would say this is a pretty good experience for me. And also for me to learn to socialize virtually. I will be attaching the link for those who are also keen in learning new language but didn't have much time to attend classes like I do. However bear in mind that you must be clear of what is your initial intention for signing up on the website. And you will need to keep reminding yourself your main purpose of doing so. It is a very good way to meet people. But beware of the wolves lurking behind the pc screens.
