I actually had problems with mylanguagexchange.com while I was in Japan. In every occasion, both parties were so interested in learning the other language that no "mutual exchange" was made. It was incredibly bad Japanese (me) going out and incredibly bad English (them) coming back all within the same conversation. I found it incredibly frustrating... I eventually gave up and spoke English because I figured the other person had less of a change to speak English than I did Japanese because I was IN Japan. Long story short, it usually ended up as an English lesson.
I would love to pay for Skype lessons so I can get guaranteed Japanese conversation. I am currently in the States right now with plans to move back to Japan this Fall. I am doing a lot of reading, but absolutely no speaking. Well, my mom says "erigato" a lot to me...but that is about it (yes...I know it is Arigato...she never says it correctly).
Can anyone recommend any site that provides decent Skype lessons? It would be SUPER cool if JPOD101 did! (hint hint!).
