Seventh writing exercise. About speacking with partners Hello everybody, I want to take advantage of this note to ask users with experience in Skype video calls what is the best way to prepare sessions and take profit of them, both to learn and to teach. Is interesting to make exercises of translations? Example: In my case (Spanish native learning English), I say a phrase in English and my partner translates it into Spanish. Then vice versa, my partner (English native learning Spanish) says a phrase in Spanish and I try to translate it into English. Second example: I say a phrase in English and my partner translates it into Spanish, but converting the phrase into a question or into negative mode. Is interesting to prepare a topic previous the video call and base the conference in it? This is a way for learning a language scenario by scenario. Examples: One conference based on grocery shopping, other based on airport environment, the other more on hotel check in, check out, ... I appreciate your corrections and suggestions. Thank you a lot in advance.
