How about active non-English forums (or other online communities), on any topic at all? Suggest an online community you're a part of, where we could go to have real conversations in our TLs.

Active forums in languages other than English
I asked a while about recommendations for language-learning forums in non-English, but didn't get much of a response.

I wish I could give the OP more than one vote. Great question!

Re: Active forums in languages other than English
Лингвофорум is a quite big Russian forum about linguistics and apparently also language learning. It even has sections in other languages.

Re: Active forums in languages other than English
Which languages (and topics) are you interested in? There are forums about all sorts of things, eg. in Spanish i know of:
http://www.alasbarricadas.org/forums/ - "foro anarquista para el debate y contacto entre compañeros"
http://www.hhgroups.com/foros/ - one of the biggest sites about rap/hip-hop in Spanish
http://forum.wordreference.com/forums/sólo-español.45/ - the Spanish Wordreference forums are pretty active as well.
and a quick search showed up:
https://www.spaniards.es/foros - a bit of everything, also has a section dedicated to learning languages
http://www.elforo.com/ - same as above, really
http://www.forosperu.net/ - and again
There are also tons of forums dedicated to video games, literature, vegetarianism, music, etc. For smaller languages it might be a bit harder, but i don't think you'd have much trouble finding anything interesting in Spanish, French, or German.

Re: Active forums in languages other than English
Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far. Keep them coming!
I personally am interested in Spanish, French, and German for now, on a variety of topics.
But I would love for the responses to this thread to be helpful to other forum members. So any language (besides English) and any topic is fair game!

Perhaps you could compile a list of people's responses in the first post of the thread?
