I explain later... on something right now |
| 22:05 |
|

pdurbin I wanted to get a doc on a website where they share docs |
| 22:06 |
|
melodie |
I have to create a presentation for an initiation course around linux I want to setup |
| 22:06 |
|
melodie |
I had found a nice example of presentation and wanted to study it, but it seems not possible to download it in fact, even if connected from Linkedin |
| 22:34 |
|

pdurbin I would like to find nice interactive online courses in English for my son, who is a young teenager. He is not bad in English at school, but the number of hours is too low |
| 22:34 |
|
melodie |
and he would probably be interested to try, if there is one which can be started at any time during the year |
| 23:01 |
|
pdurbin |
maybe we should start a "looking for" list |
| 23:01 |
|
pdurbin |
for courses people are looking for |
| 23:04 |
|
melodie |
pdurbin that would be nice! |
| 23:04 |
|
melodie |
pdurbin do you think some "live" and interactive online courses could be found? |
| 23:09 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm not sure. I haven't looked |
| 23:11 |
|
pdurbin |
melodie: you could look around here: English Language Learners Stack Exchange - http://ell.stackexchange.com/ |
| 23:11 |
|
melodie |
I look, thank you |

this might fit my needs but not those of my child |
| 23:12 |
|
melodie |
now imagine, |
| 23:14 |
|
melodie |
your eldest child, who would know let's say 200 words of French and a few ways to combine them to make sentences, would really want to start learning it with French people. But none is available around (some could, but don't do that). Wouldn't you try to find some place online for that? |
| 23:15 |
|
melodie |
a place where the main pages would be in English, and just a click away, could start to discuss with people in French, with simple discussions fit for the age and level? |
| 23:15 |
|
pdurbin |
do you want conversation or formal instruction? |
| 23:15 |
|
melodie |
(perhaps a bit complicated) |
| 23:15 |
|
melodie |
both |
| 23:15 |
|
melodie |
mixed in an intelligent way |
| 23:16 |
|
pdurbin |
written or verbal? |
| 23:18 |
|
melodie |
same, it should be good to have both possible, so once written, once verbal... |
| 23:18 |
|
melodie |
mixed as in the real life would be ideal |
| 23:19 |
|
melodie |
however I am not sure if it is possible |
| 23:23 |
|
pdurbin |
I'd like to encourage a foreign language (or two) for my children too |

pdurbin the other day you told us they do have courses at school to learn foreign languages, is that right? |
