Come on, I wanted to learn Spanish, I even clicked on it, but I was paired with a Nepalese guy who didn't know any Spanish, he did know Hindi. Help me out :(

@abdussamit We are working on that ;) We recently added a report button, so that you can report the chat if it is not the right language.
We hope that our audience gets more international, so that we cover most languages.
How would you solve the problem?

@thecreativchris Thanks for replying.
Before I give a short solution, how do you sign up native speakers? Do they go through a test or what? I mean how do you "label" someone as Spanish, Italian, Dutch etc.?
A short test would be to translate a paragraph in that said language, and then set a minimum bar they have to cross, I'm sure there are libraries/algorithms for that already.
The first few hundred users in such a product must be handpicked so visitors have a great experience.
We can shift this discussion to e-mail if you want: tayyab.abdussami@gmail.com
