Hi guys I believe that there are various other online platforms with the similar idea of chatting with a stranger . Some apps like saraha and for video calling is Azar . About the software I think there are tech assistants which are doing a good job . We can use Google translate for the translation as well . At the last talking to a stranger , at a personal level being a student I would consider as a waste of time . So according to me talking to strangers is a nice concept like many people are into it and do it on a regular basis . This concept can work provided it is more handy , user friendly and a bit different than others .
