Hi again @Sumejja, @Elida, @KellyW, @Tamar, @tim_m, @Sean-C, @Masme, @Alan, @Andrea and anyone else who is interested 
I have an idea. Through to Friday evening I’m teaching a group of 5 to 8 IT professionals who are in a two year further education and re-education program. My job is to coach and train them 8 hours a day. Today was our first day and we stuck to text chat because I want everyone get comfortable reading and writing simple sentences and responding to questions. Of course I also shared a number of external resources such as YouTube videos, podcasts, texts and materials from our site here including forum posts. Now, there are several hundred thousand people being trained full-time in Germany right now and this is just the beginning of a new era of online tuition. This is where you come into play. Most learners have great difficulty interacting with other people in English. They are afraid of being stuck in a conversation searching for words or finding themselves searching for words. So, if we build them a bridge by sharing voice recordings with them, they have time to listen to them and they can decide whether they want to respond via audio message or text or not at all. What do you think? Are you ready for a little prototype project? If so, for starters please record a short message similar to this one:
It can be shorter than Natalie’s message but maybe tuned a little more toward their situation. By that I mean you can include some the background information I have given you such as that they are based in Germany and training to work in the IT field.
What do you think so far? I look forward to your positive responses
PS: With a little bit of brainstorming I’m sure we could build something really exciting here together. Are you on board?
