Learning in person versus learning over Skype

 

I think it's better to learn in person Korean conversation than learning over Skype? Why? Because communication is better when you can actually see the person you are talking to. Some people do not use a webcam when they use Skype (either they don't have one or they just do not like to use one). So you can miss out on a lot of visual cues. Also, the interaction is more natural in person. You can see the person even when they get up and move around. You can write things to each other on paper. You can pick up objects and talk about them. You can move around the room, look at books, watch TV and even look at the Internet together. So I think learning in person is much better than doing it on Skype.
