Generally the best method for eliciting personal information from strangers is to offer a story of your own.
Lets hear it. |

yeah, let's hear it dude. i know you're dying to tell.
I've done a couple language exchanges, none of them resulting me in exchanging much language. usually just chatting in entirely one language or the other. months ago, on the last language exchange i ever did, i ended up drunkenly making out with the girl in a �뷡��, and it was at that point i decided to just call them "dates."
man, i feel like a real classy guy. now somebody else better share. (cough)shakuhachi(cough) |

I did one language exchange before. Each class I taught her English for an hour and then for one hour she corrected the story I was writing.
The end. |

It sure sounds like some language exchanges end up being exchanges of bodily fluids....  |

| That's an integral part of any language exchange lesson. Did she recite the alphabet whilst in the middle of her 'lesson'? |

I doubt he's got any stories to tell. Certainly he just wants others' stories to live vicariously through. I could put that much more crudely, but it would probably get the post deleted. |

No, just one letter over and over: "Oh! Oh! Oh!" |

My best language story has nothing to do with making out. My agent wanted to live his sexuality through the conduit of a tall white man and was hell-bent on introducing me to this "bootifol gerl". I was hell-bent on not showing up. He called me an hour after our arranged meeting time, then another hour later, then another hour and a half later. Yup, I was 3 and a half hours late to meet this poor girl and the stupid agent "setting us up" and they still didn't get the message!
Once I got to KFC (where everyone studies in China!?) I was in a shitty mood, and after introductions obnoxiously showed her all my frightening (to many Asian people) piercings and tattoos. Then it was on to a lively discussion of Tian'anmen!
She turned out to be the best friend I ever made in China  |
