I get between 3-5 messages a day from Chinese people simply looking to learn English. Many of them are students and they have a decent grasp on the language but want to practice with actual Americans.

For instance, I signed on today and had five new add-requests and it goes on alllllll day long.

At first I thought it was a random bot or some kind of spamming operation, but I finally gave in and had a discussion with one of them... check it out below. Do you guys get messages like this???

After that, I told him I needed to go and ended the conversation. I actually felt bad for the guy but his English is almost better than mine lol.

Guess I need to configure my settings to stop this kind of stuff but surely I can't be the only one getting these?
