Personally i think verbal communication or frequent use of the japanese language in dialouge (even in IM) is the best way to learn the Japanese language, so i have this idea. How about any members who'd like to participate all get on next Saturday between 11AM and 8PM to practice speech or dialouge with other members. (Including myself.) I stated a specific time so that it can be a little more organised if many people are on and they decide they want to do a group chat. If you'd like to participate or you plan on participating, or you just plain think it's a good idea. Post your skype user name, a time *optional*, and some useful phrases to help everyone out. If you think it's a bad idea or you'd like to warn people please go ahead. Also, just a heads up, I do prefer Hiragana over Romaji since it makes things a little bit harder. I may even invite a few friends from/currently residing in Japan.
