TL;DR: Is anyone interested in a language exchange LS or does sth like this already exist? I'm interested in Japanese and French.

So, I decided to use FF14 as a tool for language learning and because I am already learning japanese I play this game in that language.

But because my friends all play on Lich (Light), I just can't bring myself to do a Server Transfer. The downside of this is that I can't really immerse myself into the language if I do duties with them (I decided to join a non-german FC because of this, but that still doesn't work). I tried to find some sort of language learning community or at least something that helps me to immerse myself better. But, other than an inactive LS, I found nothing. Well, there is one community I found on Reddit, but sadly they didn't expand to the European Servers yet. I also made myself an alt on a Japanese Server, but With the expansion here I just don't see myself playing the Alt for at least some months.

So after I took the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) on sunday, I rediscovered my joy for learning french and then I thought 'Why not try finding some nice french language exchange Partners then?' my french is really bad and I only know the basics, but the best thing to do is to confront the language daily. I think having a LS takes the pressure away from 1:1 conversations, because I am really bad at those myself. I tend to just randomly contribute to the FC chat myself and because I'm pretty often doing dungeons and trials it's hard to whisper.

I know that this seems pretty random and some might not understand why I want to do learn languages through a MMORPG, but games helped me learn english in some way, so there's that. And I also know that FF14 has a variety of players with different interests. So here I am: wanting to play this game while gaining some new skills.

All I can offer is German (native) and some Thai (second language) though.

Thank you for reading and your patience! If you're interested, please let me know
