It's one of the biggest problems with language learning: you can talk as much as you like with your classmates and teacher, but often there's no way to practise when you get home. Of course you want to keep your fluency and vocabulary alive - but how?
Meet new people!
At FriendsAbroad.com, the idea is simple: there are people all over the world who want to meet and make friends with speakers of other languages. Type in a few simple details about yourself and in no time you'll be communicating by email and text chat - and you can use the onsite translator if you can't think of a word or phrase.
If you're currently a student, you can take what you've learned each day and try it out straight away. And if you're a past student, you can keep your skills alive. You'll make friends from all around the world, all eager to chat in an informal and friendly way. Need the language for your job? Hooking up with other people in the same business can really help you with the specialised language you need. If you're planning to travel, you can even get tips about the best hotels, restaurants and places to see in the country you're going to.
New improved service launches soon
You may already be thinking that this is a fantastic idea, but wait - there's more! New innovations, coming soon, will make their site even more fun to use - and help you learn English at the same time. It will be possible to communicate in real-time through VOIP, for free. You will be able to have real conversations with your friends all around the world and practise your language skills.
FriendsAbroad.com is a simple idea that is going to change the way you learn English. It's safe, fun, and free for Embassy CES students and Student Club members*. Why not have a look?
