To be fluent in english, we definetely have to use english everyday, at least we can be comfortable in using it, natural. One thing we can do is make a skype call with another member in EC!Yes, that's easy, really?Sometimes, I just don't know what to talk, really, sometimes it's going smooth, sometimes it's going hard. I'll feel bad if the conversation become dull or boring or awkward. But, you know, by making a call to a completely new person, that will increase our ability when we have to meet new person.Okay. The last call I made, we talk about family, job, activity, even politics.. It was about 45 minutes.So, guys, what do you usually talk at skype call, any some interesting subject you have or you usually use?My idea for this is to make a group conversation, and talking about some particular subjects, or some interesting newest hideline news. I think, the moderator here usually gives some great news to talk about.My skype is stephen.alx btw... :)
I 've experienced talking with familiar and unfamiliar members and I learnt that talking to those members، who know your ideas، interest، way of discussion is much easier and great fun. Therefore, now i prefer friends to strangers.
dear Stephane i am not good at talking by skype, i have my reason for not doing it, by i can give you some pieces of advice, read a nice quote and think about it, make notes about some opening questions , ice-breakers, for example when you are done with all your topics about family and politics , just ask simple questions such as ''what is your favourite day of the week'', what is your fav season, why?, who is your fav film star or choose any celebrity who is worth discussing..and thus the fluent conversation goes on ..see? you may think oh so simple but this is how you may interact with strangers , with newcomers and so on
I like both chat (text and voice), unfortunately nowadays, not doing any chat except kinda write comments on blog post. In my opinion text chat is better then voice chat for learning English. If anyone want to grow up their speak power then voice chat can help out.
I tried a few times to talk in Skype, but it was useless. I don't know what to talk about, and ended up with a long silence. I think I prefer to just text chat in EC. :D
