Charlie's notebook entry: Apr 05, 2011 I would like to start a new blog and open a voice chat group discussion session via skype, msn or other programs to help those that wish to practice speaking English. Many friends have communicated with me via text, but are afraid to chat with me in English. I encourage those to give it a try. Those interested can contact me. However, I only add and speak to people with photos of themselves posted. I won't speak to pictures of cartoons, aliens from outer space, animals or your pets. This is simple respect and courtesy in any culture. If you post photos of your children, I'll make exceptions but only if it is your own child. And, please... no photos of movie stars, especially Japanese Teen Idols.
