1.To judge your level

There is this definition for intermediate level if you have mastered the basics of the language which include basic vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

You can carry on a simple conversation. If you are a beginner, you should start with

category penpals and text chat.

2.Choose your lesson plan Normally, together with a pal, you make a

lesson plan. This will provide the structure and activites needed in your language exchange.

These activities we will do the way that we want, they will help our listening, comprehension, pronunciation and vocabulary.

During half the practice, we will be speaking in the language we are practicing and the other half in our own language. For a chance to practice more we exchange partners.
