I love this idea and have this bookmarked. The only things that make me hesitant to sign up are:
(1) I'm definitely not conversational in any language other than English. (I'm very slowly working on Japanese, but I haven't really built up much vocabulary or much of the grammar. I'm less driven about learning than I probably should be, but I figure I can continue to work on it this slowly until I get to a certain point.) Have you had any stores of people with differing relative skills doing a language exchange?
(2) I live in a not-quite-densely-populated area (Amarillo, Texas), so I can only wonder how vibrant the CoffeeStrap user-base here would be. There's really no solution to this one other than to sign up and try to start something myself. It's what really kills me about living out here and seeing all of these cool services, but I suppose it comes with the territory.
- mahesh_rm 13y agoHi IS, (1) yes language proficiency is definitely one variable that inputs in our matching algorhitm (2) you never know, we are now observing CoffeeStrappers signing up form VERY remote areas of the world. of course more dense of CS is your area, more accurate matches you will have, but I wouldn't say you are apriori condemned to a Japanless CS future if you keep on living in Amarillo! :-)
