Certainly NOT. Seven years experience taught us that almost all Japanese trying to learn English think that the SOLE purpose of the whole existence of foreigners and especially native English speakers in this country is to be tools for them to practice their English. All attempts for seriously learning Japanese are always met with ridicule and hindrances. Me and my wife, and almost every body we know who learned Japanese (reading and writing included) did this on our owns using tools like yours and Heisig's while completely avoiding all those 言語蛭 (Gengo-Hiru), aka, Japanese who want to learn English while ignoring all rights for foreigners who lived on this land for years to speak Japanese language. I wonder what Japanese would feel after living couple of years in the States when every single American approaching them is trying to practice their Japanese with them and insisting on replying in Japanese and ridiculing their English even when they prove that they can speak and read English fluently!! That is our daily life here.
Todd, your site is wonderful and amazing and honestly deserves a prize for helping many serious learners to master Japanese. But unless you want your site to be a dating place for non-serious learners who will use the teach-me-teach-you thing for meeting and dating, please relinquish this idea of having us meet our "counterparts"; keep serious Japanese learners away from the gengo-hirus.
With all our best and thanks for the wonderful efforts you are putting in this site.
Yours sincerely,
 

Point well taken that language exchange between a guy & gal is often little more than dating. But if you're single that ain't a particularly unpleasant way to learn a language, eh?

Of course I've had similar experiences here in Japan with people trying to practice English--I just answer in Japanese and leech them right back. No need/time for hard feelings, that's how one learns.

Anyway, no worries--Rikai's here to stay and nobody's going to be forced into anything. What I have in mind is pretty tame.
