Jump-gate.com – a Promising Discussion Forum

Jump-gate is said to be a project site for English -reading visitors intending to learn about speaking and reading languages and development through computers.

The forum deals with the following spoken languages: French, English, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese, and German where French is the most active.
Anything could be discussed in relation to these languages.

At the moment, it has a little more than 700 registered users with about 2,600 articles. There are three moderator names reflected in these threads.

Except for the French folder, the coast is quite clear for the others and action is so slow, one’s post may be answered after many days, if ever.

However, given just one active “teacher” to respond to you in the folders, this site is excellent for learning language – including for making friendships and learning the culture of others. While membership still has to build up, the benefit clearly is that one gets the feeling the site makes one fine personal teacher and friend.
