We had a great English lesson with some very-very clever and nice and cute students from Lurgan, USA.
This time one side chose a world, the other class had to ask questiosn, and the class which picked up a word could answer only: yes, no, sometimes. Finally, we and they had to find out the word.
Thank you very much for the meeting!!
Here is the video of the meeting
Very nice students from Lurgan, USA read us a cute story about a little mouse. It’s a great help in our language learning, we are going to listen to the story next week in the lessons.

I am Gyöngyi from Hungary. I teach little kids age 7-14. They learn English as the second language. This school year (2009-2010)we had two skype calls with kids from Lewisberry and Wellford. Many many thank for them, because my kids enjoyed these meetings very much. Their teachers helped me a lot, so despite of the language difficulties these calls were great!!!! So, from September I would like to make more skype calls to motivate my student to learn English.
