I can only speak one language, and I’m not proud of that. I’ve tried to learn Spanish, but due to a lack of real commitment, I only picked up a few words and phrases. You can’t expect to have a conversation with someone who speaks another language if all you can talk about is how you want more food and how you need to go to the bathroom, but then again, something is better than nothing. One of the best ways to learn a language is to communicate with someone who can speak it fluently. This personal education far exceeds anything that you’ll find in a textbook. MyHappyPlanet connects you with people from all over the world who are willing to help you learn another language. 

What’s neat about this community is that the people who you’ll connect with are students themselves, and you can help them just like they can help you. You can communicate with these contacts in a variety of ways, and a lot can be learned about languages and cultures through MyHappyPlanet. Teaching materials that include videos and lessons are also available for your use.
