language learning via skype

Someone out there had a bright idea, and created OfKourse.com, a site at which you can register as a student and pay to take a class with a language teacher using Skype. You can also register as a teacher and maybe earn actual money, although it’s difficult to actually determine what the teachers are paid — I can’t find that info on their site.

In any case, it’s a cool idea.

    There are also sites for language partners using Skype, and they’re free. Mixxer and Jyve are two that I know of. Just help someone with their English and practice the language you want to learn. Skype certainly does change things.
