Anyone interested in skype oral practice? (French)

UnholyGregor

Anyone interested in starting a regular french oral prep call via Skype?
I thought maybe we could get a couple people in a group call, and have turns in pairs, for like an hour every week.... seen it suggested on here a while ago, not sure if it was a success, but if people put in the effort, I see no reason why it shouldn't do wonders for our orals, since we're all in this sh1tstorm together

Hr level preferably

Chuchoter

I'm up for it

UnholyGregor

I'm intersted! Send me a PM with your skype name!

UnholyGregor

okay, so we have 3 people, i that should do
anyone else interested is welcome

Sarah?

Hmm, peut-être...

Did the French oral last year, it used to be my weakest area but in the end I think it brought me up!

Anyway, I might join ye, it's a great way of improving languages. (I did a couple of Skype calls as Gaeilge last year which really helped!)

UnholyGregor

that would be awesome il msg you with he details once we get it all sorted, im thinking friday at 9 pm every week for 1 hour?

Chuchoter

Also if anyone wants to do Irish oral I'm up for that too

Call Me Lia

Ooh I want to do this ! Any spaces left?

UnholyGregor

no you're too late.....
lol of course theres space left
add me on skype UnholyGregor

thetonynator

Will try this then, but can't guarantee I'll be available every friday evening!

Luno

Yeah sure why not.

Sarah?

I'm still interested but I can't do it every week or anything. I probably won't be spending much time practicing for the orals for a good while anyway so carry on without me for now! :P Send an oul PM my way if you want my Skype name or to organise something a bit closer to the orals.

And if anyone's interested in doing this for Irish too béadh sé go hiontach!

UnholyGregor

my skype id is UnholyGregor
friday at 9pm's the plan. add me on skype, asap, so i can make a final list of the people.

anyone got any ideas on what way to do the calls? if there's 6 of us, would it be better to have 3 pairs in seperate calls, with alternating partners every week, to keep things varied, and to get the most done per hour (if everyones in one call, people will have to wait for the others to finish to talk)

Are you from Tunisia?!

UnholyGregor

Sunday at 7pm okay for everyone? (seems like a safe time, who goes anywhere at 7 on a sunday?) , basically just gonna get everyone in a call and sort times and pairs/rotations and topics out; i expect everyone to be there, as im gonna be making a final list of the people and all that stuff, if you dont give me a pm to excuse yourself this week, your out im afraid, as it would really screw **** up if people came and went as they pleased.

Chuchoter

UnholyGregor

Ya I'm online, but I didn't get any add. Try again, or else send me a pm with your skype name

thetonynator

Well that was epic!!!

UnholyGregor

it actually was ridiculous banter, i propose we do a french oral drinking game.... every time ben sighs in resignation, or talks in english, take a swig

Chuchoter

Please lets do a drinking game. Vodka shot every time someone says a French word. CONSTANT SHOTS

UnholyGregor

perhaps,though we'd get way drunker every time ben says ''**** sake''

Hi there,
I'd be interested in assisting.

Am a French teacher- could you send me a PM and we can discuss how I may be of assistance.

Regards

UnholyGregor

woah, that would actually be amazing
