This is a really cool idea that I can definitely see myself using. A few ideas that would make it even more awesome (for me):

More languages would be great.

Let me specify the level I currently know a language at. For example: I'm not a native speaker of ASL, but I can get through a conversation. I'd be a great partner for an ASL beginner but not for someone advanced.

Hi, I'm Jake, one of the Verbling founders. Thanks for this feedback! We are planning to launch more language combinations in the future, though Spanish-English is the only one currently active. As we scale, we can allow users to impose filters such as "I want to talk to advanced speakers only."
