Ashley asks: "How do you stay safe when doing language exchanges?"

In this episode:

• Making connections is the real joy of language learning
• My perspective as a man
• It's undeniable that some people are looking for more - just like real life!
• Just as in real life, you need to stay aware
• Corresponding in advance, talking about the terms of your exchange, and trusting your gut is probably best
• Beyond that, if you're meeting online (such as Skype), you're safe - just don't reveal any personal details
• You could use a separate Skype name and Gmail address, but that might not be the foundation of a good friendship
• If meeting face-to-face, it's almost certainly fine, just meet in a public place
• However, I'm not best qualified to advise on this... leave your comments please!
