Hmm, I'd really like to do the Skype sessions, but they're too early: I won't be
available until about 12:30 PM New York time... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm flexible with regard to the scheduling of future seesions.
Maybe we could make some use of the FSI FAST course next time? I haven't had a look at it myself yet but it's freely available with audio here and in a different format here. Quoting from the introduction: "We want you to leave here with the ability to face, without hesitation, any number of situations you will encounter in day-to-day life in those cities where you will live, work and visit". So it might be useful for finding suitable dialogues to use as earlier discussed in this thread. /aloysius 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi, sorry I couldn't make it but I need to have a look on the skype manual. I have already two more
contacts on skype. I hope next skype session will go smoother. I agree with the suggestion to use FSI course. I'd go further and suggest we pick a lesson of a textbook, work on it during the week, use it for dialogue practice, and also we choose a text for reading and vocabulary drill. It would be useful for doubt clarification. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi, I don't think there was anything wrong at your end. I saw you tried to call me, but if I had answered, then I would have been cut off from the rest of the conversation with the others. I think we all need to make sure everyone had added all the others before next time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My time zone might make it quite hard for me to take part in the Skype sessions, I'm at GMT +9... but my schedules can be pretty flexible, so I'll see what I can do for next time.

@drsarvo I'm sorry about the Skype session. I don't know why it wasn't working for you :-/
@jellyfish We might be able to coordinate multiple Skype sessions with different groups of people, if necessary, if we all can't make it to one. Once or twice a week, say, we can potentially host a session, and we can vote on times. The idea being that at least every 2 weeks or so there is at least one Skype session each team member can make. Speaking of, I typed up the first set of диалоги from Урок 1. PM me your e-mail addresses and I will e-mail you the document. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@tecktight: I think it's a great idea to schedule different skype sessions. I vote for Monday afternoon, say around 1900 hours, Central Standard Time (I think it's -6 hours GMT).
I'd be glad to receive dialogue from lession number one, so that we can practice in next skype session. My mail is: drsarvo@yahoo.com.mx I also propose to exchange texts that we can read in the sessions, we could exchange them via e-mail a fex days prior to the sessions. No matter if they are elemental dialogues or texts from textbooks; if you have the audio of these texts we can listen to it and exchange opinions about pronuntiation. That could be done also with poems and songs, we could agree in a determined song, search the lyrics in internet and listen to it in youtube. I propose a poem: телефон, by Корней Чуковский. There is even a video in youtube so that you can listen to a Russian actor reciting it, it's very funny. You can find the text in hobbitniya.ru, it includes some delicious vignettes. And a song: Katyusha. Find the lyrics in marxists.org (including English translation). How do you like my proposals? I hope to read your opinions. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think -6 GMT at 19h wouldn't work for those in Europe.
