Welcome to our Wednesday thread. Every other week on Wednesday at 06:00 UTC, In this thread users can:

• Find or ask for language exchange partners. Also check out r/Language_Exchange!
• Ask questions about languages (including on speaking!)
• Record their voice and get opinions from native speakers. Also check out r/JudgeMyAccent.

If you'd like others to help judge your accent, here's how it works:

• Go to Vocaroo[1], Soundcloud[2] or Clypit[3] and record your voice.
• 1 comment should contain only 1 language. Format should be as follows: LANGUAGE - LINK + TEXT (OPTIONAL). Eg. French - http://vocaroo.com/-------[4] Text: J'ai voyagé à travers le monde pendant un an et je me suis senti perdu seulement quand je suis rentré chez moi.
• Native or fluent speakers can give their opinion by replying to the comment and are allowed to criticize positively. (Tip: Use CMD+F/CTRL+F to find the languages)

Please consider sorting by new.

I have several thousands edit on Wiktionary. Currently looking for new employment, although not in any language-based profession. Would it be nice to include this commitment in my linkedin profile, or would it just be silly?

what JLPT level should I reach before studying another language? I've been studying Japanese for two weeks, and I'm about to finish Genki Book 1. I know around 150 kanji but very few vocabulary words, so I’m still far from N5. I really like Japanese, but I also feel the need to learn another language—partly for fun and partly for job opportunities. However, I’m afraid I might mix the languages up or forget everything I’ve learned in Japanese so far. Any advice?

What apps would you recommend for learning Italian as a native English speaker?

I've been doing Duolingo for a long while but I'm no longer happy with it for a number of reasons, and I'm looking for a new app.

I've not taken an official test, so I don't know what level I'm at, but I feel okay about it and I did pretty good when I went to Italy
