IIRC, Skype supports voice conferences of up to 5 people. Multi-person video chats are not supported. Skypecasts have been discontinued. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Professor,
I have viewed a few of your videos. I find that you are being too hard on yourself. When you make a lecture, you are making it for serious students who really need information on learning languages on their own. I would never have heard of shadowing if I had not watched your videos on it. I would continue to make videos the way you do right now. If people find it boring, that is there loss, but there are many serious students that are probably taking small notes on how to shadow, or what types of dictionaries they should get (I do). These students are the ones you make these videos for. Making an exciting funny video would definitely be awkward for you, and it would most likely make serious students think that you are not serious enough anymore. Live- Casting your lectures is a way to encourage questions from people, but putting them on Youtube allows people to ask questions via comment or message. These questions will not interrupt your lesson, and they will allow more thinking to be put into the question. So, in conclusion, I hope you keep your videos just the way they are. I would also like to thank you for making these multiple videos and putting them on Youtube. I actually use this information and I know realize from the responses from many members, that a lot of other people do as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Prof. Arguelles,
Please DO NOT change anything about your videos. I personally find them very helpful in my studies and I find they contribute significantly to help me improve my language learning studies. I also would like to see more, rather than less. I think that lectures on language learning as has been suggested above would be excellent. In that regard, Professor, have you considered finding a way to begin your institute of polyglottery through an online medium? Many people on these forums (myself included) don't study full time (I am an engineer by day and language hero by night). But I put in more than four hours of study per day and am quite serious about it. Many students would probably jump at the chance to attend an online school of yours even if it was just part time initially. Just a suggestion. Thanks as always, Jon 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Many thanks to all those who dispelled my fears that the accusations of rambling might be founded. Clearly I do not come across in this fashion to an interested audience. At any rate, I was never planning on changing my style of videos or putting live streaming on YouTube. I will continue making the same kind of YouTube videos, and in addition I will be adding the format of live lectures and seminar discussions on my own websites.

Dear Professor Arguelles,
Apologies for my late response, but I have been away from the internet for a while. I agree with the others that your lectures are very informative and helpful, and you are not rambling. Learning languages and multiple language acquisition takes time and does not follow an 'I want everything now, in two mouse clicks' approach. I think that the kind of audience you intended to reach appreciates the time and effort you put in making these videos, as well as your contributions on this forum and your website. Kind regards and thank you once again, Ron Peek Edited by ronp on 12 May 2009 at 1:52pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It would probably take too much work, but I think a video series on any particular language, not just theory, would be great. It would really be great to have, say, hours upon hours of lectures of grammar on any given language. My guess is that the preparation would amount to 100s of hours if the course followed the (3 hours/week)/14 week semester structure, so this is probably just a dream.
