Personal comments
if you meet exchange students you learn a strange german, it is better to meet german students, but it´s not so easy. The tumis provide a tandem service so that you can meet german students that are learning your language.There is no problem if you don´t mind speaking your language so that they can practice and learn it.It is a little bit annoying.The best thing is to meet german students that don´t speak your language
