WEBCAST!!!

Last lesson we had a chat with our American peers and for the first time we could see them on the screen! I felt really embarrased to speak to all these people, neve seen before, but already known, as every time we had had our SKype exchages,at the end of the lessons we spoke about our impressions of Americans..
I don't know if I prefer the webcast conversation or Skype, obviously when you use sKype you feel more comfortable, you share with your interlocutor only your voice, whereas with webcasts you share also your image and your personality. Seeing someone you can understand many things, from the way he/she is dressed, how he pays attention to what your are saying.. ect.
Skype is a more detached way of communicate, the different between the two systems is comparable to the relationships we have in our lives: Skype is like having a coffee with your colleguaes, whilst Webcast is like a dinner with friends, so you need a certain confidence.
I think that Sarah's decision of letting webcast exchange as last lesson was quite good, we had our first experience and after two months we needed to do a more step and finally see each other!!
