New exercise I've invented: going on language exchange sites, checking out the French entries of Anglophones, and comparing them to the *corrected* versions posted by Francophones. Then I can use flashcards and my own writing to get the idiomatic phrases and corrected grammar into my head. :-)

And I just realized minutes ago that I scheduled this session for 2:00 - 3:00 AM Friday, i.e. in the middle of the night about 11 hours from now, when I meant to schedule it for 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. LOL! Oh well, it's too late to change it at this point (at least if I want to have it tomorrow), so I'm just going to stay up tonight and go for it anyway. :-) Edited by tastyonions on 10 January 2013 at 8:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, thirty-five minutes into the hour and the person who was scheduled to tutor me seems not to have gotten on Skype (at least, Skype says my text messages couldn't be delivered, and trying to call them didn't work either). And they aren't on italki at the moment, either, so I have no way to contact them.
Looks like this is a bust. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Sorry to hear that. Did you manage to spend the waiting time doing some extensive reading or Assimil lessons, at least...? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Not really, I spent the bulk of it flailing around making sure that my Skype wasn't the problem and that I hadn't missed any special protocol for how to do a tutoring session. Time for bed I guess. :-/

That's not reassuring; I've been thinking about doing conversation lessons through Italki with a tutor, with the hope that people might be a bit more reliable and serious when there's money involved. Apparently not :/ or maybe you were just unlucky.
