Post subject: Please change the learning language forum

I’d like to propose a change in the Learning Language forum. There is written: „Help someone learn a new language here..language tips, words, language partners Post here.“

Additionally Michael wrote: This forum is for discussion.. not for language school ads. Posting of advertising is out of hand in the language forum. Periodically we will check and move ( or remove ) any ads for language schools or language services. You can post your ads in the Doing Business- Announcement forum only. Anywhere else and they will be removed.

It would be nice if there could be a discussion about learning language but when one has a look it’s hard to distinguish posts with „language problems“ from advertisments for language classes or language partners (who quite often are professional teacher whom you’ll have to pay)

I prefer to post my language problems in the „Question and answer“ forum because there one get’s an answer! (If one is lucky and the post is not "banned" to the learning language forum Cool

So I propose, first of all to DELETE the „hi. I’m a teacher blabla“ and „language class only 100 RMB“ posts more often and to make an additional section like „Language Partners“ - looking for a language partner, post here.
