Re:how to use this website
Hi Annie
Mostly what I do is look at the bulletin posts in the areas that are interesting to me. Actually, I look at them all, because I’m interested in most of them (there’s an option to look at all the messages in one list on the main bulletin board page.
I look at what people are talking about, and I butt in often when people are talking about things that interest me. If you’re a regular member, it pays to be known as either a resource of information, or as someone who works very hard to learn—I figure those are the people who are contacted by gold members. And I’ve been contacted a few times, so I figure I’m doing all right.
If you’re a gold member, I figure in your shoes, I’d look for those members who are interesting and/or committed to work with. I do quite a bit of work with my language (Spanish) off line, so that I can come up with interesting questions to ask on the exchange. And I cultivate friendships with other members, which gives me wonderful opportunities to learn more about cultures and such.
I’ve been a member about two months now, and I love it. Be sure not to ever post your e-mail address—we recently lost a member who tried to sneak his through to somebody in code and was kicked off. Other people get away with it. So I guess “you pays your dime and takes your chances,” as they say.
I have offered other suggestions to similar requests in the past. You might go to the BBoard main page and pull up the option to search for a message. I have posted the following messages, which you may or may not find helpful:
Message ID: 51540
48613
51207
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
