    To me the most important role of the teacher is as friend, coach, motivator and role model. Therefore there is no need for a specific eaching platform, nor any kind of structured lessons. There are lots of language resources on the web. Ulimately we learn best from the language itself.

    On the other hand these communities represent a market place where teachers can find students. That is what you pay for, if you are a teacher.

      Where did you find this post, Steve? :) A lot happened in between and the problem always was that students were a rare resource.

    Kirsten, I was made aware of your blog again via Linked In and have been browsing it, commenting here and there. Interesting stuff. Christmas day here, so I will soon go out and do a little cross country skiing. Cheers and Merry Christmas.

    My wife and I were in Munich at the end of November for 3 days, after a trip in Italy. I did not know how to get in touch with you or I would have called you. We had a great time and Munich looked beautiful with the Christmas decorations and snow.

    BTW I posted about you on my blog. I will continue to look in on your blog in the new year.
