So it's language exchange partners, but over the internet.

Pretty neat, but I'd definitely worry about audio quality. If you live in a multicultural city with a couple universities, the real-life version is easy enough to set up.

And for the ones that don't have the financial ability to pay a top rated course?

I think this service enables self taught people with enough tools to march forward on their quest to learn a new language.

You don't need to pay for a top rated course to find someone who's trying to learn your language and vice versa, and meet up with them in person when you live in a multicultural city as the parent said, with universities where there are lots of young people eager to learn.
