Owen's bloooooog~

An incredible software ~ skype (also a tool to learn english)

Skype is similar to the normal InstantMessanger we've already known(msn,yahoo IM,icq...), but it has more powerful ability on voice transimission and voice quailty, and because it use 'pure' peer to peer technology, you'll don't worry when the server break down because it don't need server to maintain.

Ok~ let me introduce some interesting functionalities that skype have~

1. good voice quality
Compare with the server delay and the poor voice quality(and some echo) when using the MSN or yahoo IM to talk online, skype have a exellent performance on the voice quality,Even when you use skype to talk with your friend in different country, you still can hear your friend's voice clearly, it feels like your friend is right next to you~

2.Conference call
you can not only use skype just 1-on-1, you can participate in conference call with four more people, and you and your friends can talk each other at the same time.

3.Skype Out
Not always your friend have PC, but you still can use skype to call him(or her) by using the skype out ,it can let you use skype to call any phone number in the world.This service is not free, but it is more cheaper compare with using regular phone.

4.Friendly Interface
how friendly? you'll know if you're trying to use it.


Now,How should we use skype to learn English? it's very easy~
you just need to find the foreigner friend throughtout skype. you can use skype to serch the foreigner by his(her)nationality, age,gender, or intersts. If you find a friendly foreigner and have will to talk with you, you're lucky,it'll be a good begining. but if you meet a strange guy... just delete it ~and find the next one.
it will be a very good experience to meet and talk with your new foreigner friend, and i think it's also a good motivation to improve your english.
