My first online study by Skype Yesterday I have my first conversation with an English friend by Skype. For the first time, I found my oral English is so bad. I still need study much harder and more practice. When the friend asked me how many times I speak English each week. I said not one speak English with me. She said use it or lose it which I thought is a very sound idea. I wish to have more foreign friends. And we can be friends and make a progress together.
