It Is italki.
那就是 italki。
And if you haven't heard of italki before, it's a huge online database of both native and non-native teachers, who give one-to-one video lessons, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

So many of my students message me, and ask me how they can access and talk to native speakers.
很多學生給我發信息問我如何遇見母語者並跟他們交談。
Italki is a great option, because they have the qualified teachers, but they also have community teachers, who will practise conversation with you.
Italki是一個非常好的選擇，因為它們不僅擁有有資質的老師，它們還有社區導師跟你練習對話。
They've given me a special offer to pass on to you.
