145: Staying safe in language exchanges

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!
