Interacting with people who are native speakers of a language you study is like practicing that foreign language in its real context.
Language expressions appear naturally in context as if you were immersed in the country where that language is spoken.
Imagine this situation:
A native Portuguese speaker learning English along with a native English speaker who is studying Portuguese.
These two people can teach each other. They will choose their favorite topics and create informal videos. The two people will send each other feedback. Feedback can be written or on a new video.

Advantages of asynchronous interaction:
- Learners can watch several times the video made by the native speaker of their target language to acquire linguistic forms and intonation;
- The feedback can be more elaborated than it would be in a synchronous conversation;
- Learners can review the response several times to deepen learning;
- The learner’s video can be reviewed by the learner so that the feedback is understood more accurately and productively;
