I owe a lot to this website, quite funny to write this because I never thought a chatroom could lead to such a difference into someone's life. I discovered this website by accident while surfing on the internet, on an already locked thread on a forum. Well, let's give a shot. What differed Hellolingo from every other language exchanging website is how friendly and warming the community was, the public chatroom was polite and comprehensive towards beginners in English (At that time I had just begun studying English after a "small break of two years). And besides chatting a lot with them, which built not only writing and reading skills but also confidence to talk I made friends! Real friends! Another thing I couldn't even suspect it could be done in a virtual world. Some of them (Special mentions go to Nat, Anne and Ayse) I keep talking till today. Beyond giving me a huge leap on English, social skills and a bunch of wholesome friends I also learned a lot of cultures, sometimes we just get stuck in our cultural bubble, not being aware of how diverse the world can be. Sigh, I could go on this the whole day but I am already getting too sentimental, :), hope that the staff (A.K.A Bernard) can read this message and know hoooooooooooow much I am grateful to stumble upon this marvelous gem, whose existence will be forever stuck on the hearts of those who had the honor to contribute to its existence. Hugs Hugs and a Kiss on the Forehead.
