WHAT IS A LIVE WEB CLASS?  The instructor conducts private lessons using a computer with a webcam, speakers and microphone to students around the World.   If they don't already have the equipment, the student purchases a basic webcam for approximately $50,00 and a microphone for approximately $20,00 connects them to their computer, and accesses the instructor through Yahoo Super Messenger (www.yahoo.com) MSN Messenger 7.0 or higher (www.msn.com) or Skype Video calling, (Skype.com).  Two way interaction during the class is conducted via the microphone and speakers.  There is no charge for the use of the online messengers. 

WHY SHOULD I TAKE AN ONLINE WEB CLASS?   Full-screen video and audio allows both teacher and student to fully interact and conduct classroom lesson simulations from the comforts of their own surroundings.   Classes can be held virtually from anywhere in the world, and virtually free.  Learning the language online with the instructor rather than driving to the classroom maximizes your daytime freedom and minimizes your travel time.
