I was listening to a french radio station podcast on language learning the other day. The 'expert' guest was from the 'polyglot club' website.

I used it back in the day (maybe 4 or so years ago). The interface wasn't great, and it didn't seem to have a very big user base compared to competitors like Conversation Exchange and iTalki, which is what makes or breaks a language exchange site. I did meet one French person from it once, but otherwise didn't find any contacts. The current site isn't loading for me right now so I can't compare it to the old design.

To be honest with you, I don't remember it that well. I only really used to use the chat room, which was multi-language and as such, both dominated by English and quite difficult to follow. I popped my head in there today and it was a ghosttown. :|

They also used to have a virtual classroom where you could join a table and use voice chat and an interactive whiteboard type thing to chat with a group of people. That was fun but I think it was shut down after a while.

From what I saw when I logged on earlier (I can't seem to load the page up again now), everything seems much more money-oriented than I remember, so that's sad.

Just checked them out for the first time. Website seems a bit oldschool but it also seems like it has a decent community. Still trying to figure out how it differs in reality from this website. Community also seems maybe a bit less active than here?
