Yes, almost every day. I was there for two hours this morning, one for Spanish and one for French.

Verbling is where I get most of my speaking practice, though I do have Skype partners as well.

You're on verbling at around 6:30 AM (Eastern Time), right? That's 4 PM here. I was there too, but I didn't see your group.
Were you in the French Intermediate group?

This morning I was in a Spanish group from around 5:30 to 7:00 AM and a French group from about 7:00 to 8:00. I don't remember whether the group was labelled "Intermediate" or "Advanced." I think there were four of five us in there this morning, all Verbling "regulars."

In any case, I am in the groups every morning for at least a half hour in each language unless my schedule absolutely does not allow for it. I find it's a great way to start my day. I always have my camera on, so you will have no problem recognizing me if we're in the same group.

5:30 AM? Go you! Do you find your brain more revved up in the morning? I'd imagine it's a
great exercise to force your brain to process the foreign language when it may be groggy
(speaking for myself here!) as opposed to only speaking when your comfortable.

Haha, getting up at that hour is really not a matter of willpower for me, it's just in my nature. I have woken up around 5:00 to 6:00 since I was four or five years old. I'm not sure I feel more revved up necessarily, but I do find it enjoyable to talk at a time when there are no distractions around and the day's concerns haven't yet begun to weigh too heavily.

Génial!
Je suis très impressionné. Ta vidéo était intéressante et je te assure qu'elle m'a plu. Elle m'a encouragé et découragé à la fois. Je suis si jaloux de tes abilités.
Je ne crois pas si je pouvais faire une chose pareil.

P.S.
À mon avis, tu n'avais aucun l'air nerveux, mais je crois que tu étais un peu fatigué.
