italki is having a challenge for the remainder of this month: if you manage to take 8
60-minute language classes on their site before the end of November, they will give you $40 in credits towards language classes. If you sign up for the challenge but don't manage, they will deduct the equivalent of $10 from your account. Details: http://www.italki.com/language-challenge/ I think it's an interesting way to motivate yourself to go all-out on language study for the rest of the month. There's no shortage of tutors on italki and most charge very low fees, e. g. $6-$10 for an hour lesson. The quality is often not so great (for quality language teachers try Myngle), but if you're looking for conversational lessons or you're ready to take charge of the lessons, you can achieve good results even with untrained native speakers. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, that seems really nice.
May I have a few slightly off topic questions? I have just started my preparation for DALF C1 (I plan to sit it in February). I have huge plans on working alone on my grammar (it needs polishing), vocab (some gaps need filling), reading and listening (that's quite no trouble). But I really could do with someone to go with me through the spoken exercises similar to those at the exam and someone to correct my writing both in terms of language mistakes and in terms of following the assignment. You've just inspired me to consider the teachers at Italki or Myngle for that. Which one would you recommend? I am afraid the teachers at Italki may not have experience with the DALF requirements. And the native public would surely help with the language mistakes but I doubt they would largely comment on the form of my resume or compte rendu. But at Myngle, I can't find the option "send a message to the teacher to tailor a course to your needs", I can only find prepared courses (proud of focusing on all four skills), which may or may not allow turning them into what I need. How flexible in this regard the teachers at Myngle usually are? Is there a way to contact them to ask? I haven't found it so far. Thanks a lot for advice. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Myngle teachers tend to have more experience with standardized exams, though there is probably a teacher like that somewhere on italki too. Anyway you can contact teachers through http://www.myngle.com/german-teachers - just click on a name and then on the "Write me" link at the top right - and ask them specifically if they have experience and materials for preparing for this exam. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
