I like Teango's motto! And always being one for proverbs, how about this one too? "Fortune favors the
brave". :)
Welcome, Ellsworth! I'm completely new to Russian too, so hopefully we'll motivate each other a lot. Good
luck with your studies!

I've done a bit of rescheduling for New Year's Eve, and am up for the Sputnik Skype session at 16:00 (UK time). My Skype name is "teango1". So how do we do this (to be honest, I've never taken part in a group call before)?

I can't wait for our Skype session tomorrow!
Basically, what we should all do, first of all, is add each other on Skype. My Skype name is "tecktight."
Since I have Skype Premium, I'm the one who has to initiate the group call, unless someone else with Skype
Premium wants to volunteer. Add me to Skype, or give me your username and I'll add you. Just specify that you're
from Team Sputnik.
Once you all add me, I'll add you to my "Team Sputnik" address group, and I believe, from there, that I'll call you all
at once and the group convo will be started.
Of course, I've never actually attempted a Skype group chat before, so we'll see how it all pans out.

I think my name is solfridcristin on Skype. I have tried adding senor_smile and tecktight, but it doesn't work. I'll send you a personal message tecktight.

If anyone else is having difficulties, it's worth noting that someone usually needs to accept your friend request
before you see them listed under your Skype contacts. Since we're all operating in different time zones, this might
account for a bit of a delay before we're all in each other's contact lists.

Ah too bad that the skype session is this weekend. Won't be able to make it. Nevertheless, hope all goes well.
