Database experts! I need your wise counsel.
I've got a part time job at the "language lounge" of a university. One of the services they offer is a language meet-up/exchange program, in which learners get matched up with other learners for conversational practise.
For example, Diego who is a native Spanish speaker wants to practise intermediate English, while Ronnie, who is English, needs to improve his intermediate Spanish. These two would get matched up.
At the moment, the system operates with various bits of paper/forms that we have to manually go through to make matches. I'd like to take it digital, so we could store all the people's details online, and be able to match them without wading through piles of forms. So I would key in Diego's details, and a list of possible matches would pop up. The criteria are: name, age, nationality, native language, desired language, interests.
Is there a relatively simple (and preferably free) database program I could use for this? Or is there a way of crafting some sort of Excel spreadsheet to do it?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
