Gender selection is particularly strange. Male is depicted by a ♀ Venus symbol?! In fact, I wasn’t sure which gender is where until I've used Firebug.

I imagine you'll get an overwhelming number of people who want to learn other languages but can only offer English themselves. How's the rate been so far?

interesting idea! i think it would be great as a mobile app, so it could send you a notification if a language exchange partner is nearby.

I was also expecting a coffeescript & bootstrap mashup and was pleasantly surprised to find a language website!

Tell me I'm not the only person who was expecting some kind of CoffeeScript and Bootstrap mashup.

That was my first thought too: "huh, somebody converted all of the bootstrap javascript to coffeescript"
