Teach me a language!

My mother tongue is Arabic

Great! Mine is Turkish by the way :)

I will teach spanish or portugues

I'll teach Russian ))

I will teach Japanese

Hello everybody! My mother tongue is Portuguese, but I can also teach Spanish and Galician

@melodia Wow! I tried to learn Turkish this summer but I gave up due to university :/

I'll teach Italian by the way =)

Hey everyone, although I studied French & English as main subjects at the Uni, I guess I`ll be your Romanian teacher :) I also took a course of Turkish for beginners last year :)

@mariee and @PoKe let's see if there will be anyone else who wants to teach Spanish or Portuguese.I think we can arrange this in a way we'll have maximum number of participants ;)

This is such a cool idea. And some fantastic languages represented here! I'm in for French or German.

what a cool idea..! :) I will be your Hindi teacher..

I could do german or spanish.

Well, if Ogma doesn't mind doing German, I'll do French as I'm a French Canadian. ;-)

awesome idea, i'll teach hungarian :)

i will teach spanish :D

I would love to do latin =)

Estonian language

I can do Dutch (I'm from The Netherlands) @melodia great Swap Idea, I love it.

I'll teach Armenian ^_^

I'm Italian

I'm South African and we have 11 official languages, of which I speak 2: English and Afrikaans. So I guess I'm the Afrikaans teacher?

I'll teach German.. or bavarian if you want :)

Spanish :) I also know Japanese

Lovely idea.

I am in Serbia so it is serbian-српски than =o).

I've just read the email @melodia sent and I do have a question. I can speak French, German and Spanish because I've learned them at school (Latin included), so is it possibile to list if we already know a language? Uhm, I know this is kinda late to ask this but I was wondering if we can get to be paired so that we expect to learn 15 phrases written in a language that we really don't know a word of? Or maybe, to make it easier, we could include slang phrases, the ones that teachers will never teach you in school? That would be interesting and would solve "my" problem (I don't wanna sound selfish. I've attended a high school focused on foreign languages, it's not my fault :P LOL)

What do you mean by '.This doesn't have to be only one person from per country,but only one person who speaks per language' ? I would join if this was clearer.

@AdorablePenguin Swap-bot chooses partners (I don't think the host or hostess has any say over who gets paired with whom). But we're getting 10 partners so you should get some cool languages you don't know. If I get you, I'll try to put some slang in there for you. ;-)

@jenthewen I think she means that, unlike some currency or postcard swaps, you can sign up even if you're in the same country as another participant. Some swaps only sign up one person per country and if that country is taken, you can't sign up. She's saying that only one language per participant is allowed in this swap.

@ogma thank you so much for explaining! :)))

Yea,it's possible to receive e-mails in languages you already know.I've tried to reduce this risk by including only one teacher for each language,but I think as we'll have 10 partners now it can be tolarated ;)

And yes,this is what I mean by only one person who speaks per language.Of course there are people who speaks more than one langauge,but I wanted to say each language would be taken by one participant.I thought it was clear but maybe I should have explained it ;)

By the way unfortunately our French had to drop from the swap so French is open again!

I'll teach Finnish :)

Thanks girls, I didn't know it was Swap-bot since I haven't hosted a swap yet :) It's fine with me ^_^

mine will be chinese mandarin thanks :)

Filipino here. This is fun.. Maybe we can have 5 or more common phrases to translate and the rest are words of our choice. just a suggestion. ;p

@kheidedios what phrases you will teach is up to you but try to include some expressions used in daily life mostly like the ones mentioned in the swap description ;)

I m from Israel so I know Hebrew. Im a newbie and its my first swip :)

Does anyone need someone to teach... English?? LOL! I will do that if needed, but looks like everyone already speaks English!

May I suggest that our "teachers" also include how to pronounce the phrases, especially if the letters for that particular language don't sound the same as in English.

For example, the name "Jorge" is spanish (I think). It looks like it would be pronounced like the english "george", but is actually pronounced "Hor-hey"

I'll happily teach people some Welsh :-)

@xandoz ive just seen your comment! i did include pronunciation in my e-mail,maybe the others have done that as well ;)

why did you change the partners to 10??

i thought it would be nice to learn 5 more languages as we have enough participants.i asked you about increasing number of partners in the first e-mail i sent - you actually didn't object this when you wrote me back - i also mentioned it in the swap description so that everyone notices.

@anniina
