◎ How does the language exchange work?
　 Simply put, it works just like how barter works. You just exchange your language
　 for the language you’d like to learn. Who do you want to exchange with? What
　 language would you like to exchange for? How do you want to learn and practice? 　
　 Well, it is totally up to you and your language exchange partners!

　 You and your partner can do the language exchange by chatting, emailing or
　 mailing by arranging a time to practice. You can also do it using the various
　 online messengers such as MSN, Yahoo, Skype via voice chat, email chat and
　 text chat. Again, you and your partner are bosses on this!

◎ Safety Reminders

1. We strongly recommend you not to give other members your address, telephone number or language exchange password.
   
   
2. We strongly recommend you not to meet your partners in person even though you’ve been exchanging language for a long time, and you think you know him/her very well. The more insistent somebody is about meeting you the more careful you should be. If you do arrange to meet, we strongly recommend you to go with the companion of a trusted adult.
   
   
3. If you are under 16, you should always tell a trusted adult that you are using the language exchange. If you are under 13, you must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian before joining the language exchange.
   
   
4. If a member sends you a message which makes you uncomfortable, you should stop communicating with that member. You are always welcome to tell us about the behavior of the member by emailing us at  master@uoutlook.com.
