Skype Language Learning Society!

Yeah, keeping the old list for reference sounds like a good idea.

There is hardly any discussion at the moment but I suppose you could try and promulgate it, and maybe ask new people to PM you to get added instead of posting here.
Like asking people to write about their own skype experience, maybe try to schedule a skype session with more than only 2 people, this kind of stuff - though to be fair I'm not sure if there would be a lot of people who would do that, and maybe the constant posting of new people bumping the thread helps it being visible (even though it's stickied)
- or make a society with two associated threads, this one for the list and applications, and another for the discussions and scheduling of sessions?

edit : a couple things regarding the list:
- one member for Mandarin was listed outside the spoiler for Chinese
- Portuguese isn't spelled Portugeuse
- I think a list for English would be nice to have as well since I believe some members native of non-English speaking countries wanted to practise their English too

That sounds like a good plan! I'll probably do something similar.
And arghh! I swear I keep changing Portuguese but then it ends up the wrong spelling again lmao!

Firstly, major apoligies for being so late in updating! I've been away on holiday but I'm back now so yay.
I'm quoting you so you know you're in the process of being added and I'll put a message below you once I've finished. This also helps me 'cause I can copy and paste stuff and keep track of who I've done.

EDIT: Deleted the quotes - looked silly and I've added everyone now anyway.



Oh dear - I don't fancy PMing every singly person too much!! I think I might reset the list but keep the original one too (but spoilered so it's hidden nicely away) so that I can move people across/rectify problems easily. Will keep people one who have been added from July onwards as I'll assume they're the same level and are continuing. Also, I might tell people who are new how to do the code so all I have to do is copy and paste it :P
What do you reckon? Thanks in advance for any advice

I'd definitely be up for it

French - A2
Spanish - Somewhere between A2/1
Russian - A1

All of these for GCSE

can I have the list for English?

Hi, do you mean you only want to help people with that at gcse level?


Hi, I've just added a section but I haven't put anyone in it. Do you want to be added as a learner or a helper and if you're a helper are you fluent etc. Thanks

I'm in the process of vaguely trying to make a society thingy - just to see how it goes so that people can organise skype calls or something and it could possibly end up as a standalone thing without the sticky/list 'cause I dunno how useful the list is... does anyone have any feedback about that? For instance, does anyone actually use the list to find people to skype? Feedback would be useful ^_^

I'm a learner.

Anyone to Skype to help practice my/their French?

Okay, so I speak English fluently, I speak Greek (Modern) at home so I'm next to fluent, and I've just done my A level French and I scored 67/70 for the speaking so although I wouldn't say that I was fluent, I'd say that I'm as close as an A level French student can feasibly get. I also did German at GCSE but I would be lying if I didn't admit to having forgotten the vast majority of it...

French is primarily what I'm looking to practice, but I'm happy to help with the other languages mentioned above if I can be of any use to anyone

A deputy isn't much different from a normal member. They merely can disassociate threads from the group and take over the group when the leader is absent for a long time.

Cool, I'll put you on the list ^_^
P.s. Well done on the A level french speaking!
