Beginning to learn Japanese

Practice with native speakers is probably the one most important component of language learning… but it’s really hard when you aren’t in the target country. That’s why a tool like the Mixxer is so great. To use it, you add The Mixxer’s contact information into your Skype acccount. Then other Mixxer subscribers can approach you and offer a language exchange.

Todd Bryant at Dickinson College developed this software, and recently wrote to say that The Mixxer has “a very large number of Japanese speakers looking for native English for a language exchange in our college language exchange database, www.language-exchanges.org
.  If you could send some native English speakers looking to practice Japanese our way, it could help balance things out a bit.”
