Hi Mike
 
Thanks for the invitation. I am a South African English teacher who is specifically interested in how non-native speakers are experiencing English in their home countries. Your idea sounds great and I would like to participate in future Skype chats (if any). I will however give this one a pass as I  have a heavy schedule this week.
 
Thanks and please keep me posted.
 
Kind regards
Anthony Shkaidy

Good morning from Helsinki! 
I am normally silent as I am not teaching grammar now but thought I would post this...
Interested in doing a Skype chat with Finland?
I have a group of 20 1st year English translation students from the University of Helsinki. Mostly girls in early 20s but some older students. Their English is GREAT so that is not a problem. We were supposed to have a Skype class tomorrow with St Petersburg but the teacher there got sick. 
I am looking for people (any individual) who can do a Skype class with us Thursday 14 April at like 14.30 – 15.30 Helsinki time. Ideally I can find 7 or 8 people. 
We start at 14.00 to iron out technical problems and start chat around 14.30 – 15.00. You (or ya’ll) would add the group name (HKIgroup1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) at like 14.15 to account for technical problems. Then start chatting with 2 - 4 students. General topics – nothing special. Our connection is good so the audio - video works fine from our end. I think the time there is like 6 or 7 am but you can check that from your end. Interested? Got friends or students who are up early? This can lead to other forms of cooperation in the future if you are interested. Hope I get some more people to join! Cheers, 
Mike
