You mean the thumb? Can you now?

Anyway, I did a couple of sessions with a teacher to check my pronouciation. The rest of the studying I did by myself. If you only do conversation lessons with a session, but the rests yourself, it is not that expensive.

The only disadvantage was the time difference between here and Korean. I once had my session scheduled at 04.00 Paris time. Hence the neighbours asked me what kind of strange, and loud, language I was talking in my sleep, in the middle of the night, and what kind of weird dreams I had been having. ;-)

The most annoying thing to me is that many people seem to mistake italki for a dating website, that's what makes it hard for me to find a serious partner, otherwise I do think that most serious partners are indeed busy with their real life and do not have as much time as I do for the moment so I made peace with that and just try to work by myself until they show up again, I try to look at partnerships as a long-term thing, so that involves ups and downs.  Also having several partners for one language helps a lot, 'cause you may still manage to practice a bit since they are not all busy at the same time, well usually not lol. As for Korean in particular, given the craziness about it perhaps Korean speakers got frightened away XD I have a Korean penfriend that I met on studentoftheworld, we've been writing to each other for some years now, did you try that site? Do you have Koreans in your university, if you go to one? You can put ads there, they may contact you if you offer help in Arabic.   Good luck anyway.

Have you ever written a Note in Korean on Italki?

Have you ever asked a question on Italki?

What kind of textbook have you learn Korean language with?

Heaven helps those who help themselves.

Hi Ghada. I just saw,  almost side by side with your discussion, a Korean girl who was looking for someone to practice English. It seems it could be a match. If you haven't seen her message here's her profile: http://www.italki.com/user/778194
