Hello Mona,Sjunior,Pablo and all, I have difficulties finding like-minded teachers on facebook who are willing to devote their free time interacting with learners via voice or video chats. Take me for example,I seldom use voice chat with any learners individually because if I do,I cannot multi-task my posts and comments in at least 5 groups I am involved with on facebook.
I myself prefer interacting via comments on Facebook or messages here in this group. I have gotten to know quite a few of you,Pablo,Ed (the moderator) ,Anurag,Eduardo Rocha,Rafael Oshiro,Mikhail,Andre,Simone,Vera,Jason Chan,Serdar,Charles,Ali,Alberto,Marcelo,etc this way and we have developed quite a strong bond to write freely to one another and have in-depth discussions on quite a few diversified topics during the last 3.5 years... I used to hold Skype group talks (voice chats) about 3-4 times only and strictly during week days as I have a family with 2 little sons and it isn't suitable for me to talk on the weekend. Since I asked Ed to make me admin yesterday,from now on this exchange of messages will be more intensive and hopefully productive !!! I would love to see any of you taking ther initiatives to post anything that interests you : Learning tips,songs,videos,poems or articles to enhance our language skills will be highly appreciated !!! Let's motivate one another and think and act positively !!! ;-) Great day to you all !
