The challange to talking on Skype

One of members of Lang-8 offered me to talk on Skype.

She lives in the UK and is learning Japanese. She said that she wanted to improve not only her writing skill but also conversation skill because she was going to come to Japan on her trip next year.

I have installed Skype over a month ago. But I haven't used it. So it will be my first talking on Skype.

I'm getting nervous and excited.

Sounds like a good way to practice though! Perhaps it will be a little awkward, but I hope it works/worked out.

Perhaps i'll get the nerve to try this with some Japanese person sometime...

Was the time difference rough?

Thank you for visiting my blog and putting the comment!
Yes, it's a bit awkward. haha.
When it's evening in Tokyo, the US is in the morning. So it's not so bad, isn't it?

Hello Sand-San
No it's too stressing for me, talking on Skype. I prefer writing, that makes me comfortable because I can find word that I don't know and so on :)

Hi tomususan,

Thank you for visiting my blog!
Yes, while I talk on Skype, I can't look up words I don't know, and I have no time to thinking. It's a bit hard situation and I'm a bit nervous.
But actual conversations are good for improving my English.(^.^)

tomususan,

Until you start speaking with Japanese people in Japanese, you study hard! I know your Japanese is improving very well!!
