Hey aftab, sorry to hear that. I am a teacher and often prepare students for exams like IELTS and TOEFL.

First, don't get mad at people. Has it ever occured to you that they might actually be busy with something or just don't have what to say or may not share the same interests. Just keep on looking.

 Apart from that, there are hundreds of other ways to get some practice online. There are so many free exam preparation sites and material, pronunciation training software, chatrooms, news with video and script.

Use your imagination and be more resourceful.

Good luck!

I shared aftaab's Idea when I join this site I was expecting people communicating freely, now I learnt that the perpose of this site is for show off, I mean members are using the site to show their boobs and teets. I don't want to offend people like you nad1a helping us in diffrent ways but most of the members are using for other purpose. let us learn one onother please>..

What?!!! Excuse me?!!! and the point is???!!!

No one can speak the words on your lips, if you want to be good at it you have to MAKE AN EFFORT. It's not something you will get in 2 months. No Way!!!.About chatting on MSN you can't expect people to be ready to talk to you all the time, they have their own things to do or other people are more important than you. The world is not revolving aroudn you!!!It's not about them it's all about you. Your personality both inside and outside. One more thing if your only motive to learn English is for exams and visa it is hopeless then. You have to Lean it, Live it, Love it. It's the only way.

@melamela. That's not totally true, there are lot of great people out there(some are even faceless but their thinking are shining)

 

Sorry for my rant but I LOVE Ebaby and It's FREAKING HELPING ME OUT

 

Now see for yourself and GOOD LUCK

"dear it's really easy to criticize"


Please, read yourself too and think about  things.


Ebaby is a platform only to meet up others who are interesting in English language, but it isn't an institution to helping out people in their need.


The community is voluntary. That means people share things like their skills and knowledges or friendships. They do it free, but everyone chooses his or her friends on his her own way.

Language study costs you time. I understand that, you moaning,in spite of you have no time you would go for a better life in the States. It's OK, but who has to care of that? Do it.


You still  give nothing to people on Ebaby, but want them to sacrifice their valued time. Hmmm. What is your offer? Two months on Ebaby.


OK. You have no time, but you want to take a big step. Why you don't pay a native speaker? There are plenty of them selling  their skills on the Internet and ready to Skype day and night.


Go to google.com and type in something similar: native speaker skype English.


By the way read nad1a's comment again and "use your imagination".
