The main idea is to have the Spaniards feel confident when speaking and listening to English. The first days you must help them reach a comfortable zone in your one-to-one sessions. For this, we recommend that you prepare and bring material that will help you stimulate conversation. Some Anglos bring maps / pictures of their home country others just bring their great conversational skills.

Not necessarily (at least, when used at a safe and comfortable listening level). Some speech sounds are harder to mask than others, depending on factors such as how far away the person is, how loudly he or she is talking, the pitch of the voice, and the presence and placement of acoustically absorbent or obstructive materials.

Dan Bricklin blogs about a talk given by Admiral Mike Mullen, the US Navy's Chief of Operations about pooling resources in a trans-national community of trust (The 1,000 Ship Navy). And Dan has a really interesting podcast interview with Vice Admiral John Morgan. Man, there's a lot going on! (Not to mention Dan notes Paul Carroll's joke about "pier-to-pier" communications.)

This is a spot for us junkers to talk about almost anything..from pets, husbands, jokes, etc. It is where we can share our best days but it also helps us when we are at our lowest and we need some kind words of encouragement! Feel free to join in any of the threads!

Conversations (also called "Convos" for short) is an Etsy-only messaging system. It's a great way to communicate with other members, especially regarding the details of a transaction. You can access your Conversations inbox by clicking the link at the very top of the site header. You can send and receive Convos from any other registered member. Additionally, you can set your preferences receive an email notification every time you get a new Convo.

In our effort to protect Etsy users from abuse by spammers and scammers, if you send out several conversations that all have similar content in a short period of time, your conversations are automatically disabled. The best way to communicate with groups, clubs, or send shop announcements and promotions, is to use your business email address. Conversations were designed to handle transaction arrangements. Please contact support@etsy.com to have your Conversations reinstated.

Soundstream never captures the audio it picks up. Soundstream does communicates with this server on Fridays to check if a new version of Soundstream is available. The information sent at that time is limited to the standard information any browser will send when you visit a website as well as the current version of Soundstream you are using. No personal information is sent. You can disable this external communication by toggling "New version check" in the Soundstream options sheet.

The research on this topic is pretty mixed. Music can either increase productivity or add additional distraction (or both). However, we can make some generalizations: Instrumental music often improves concentration when it is moderately complex and played at a moderate volume. However, music which is too stimulating often causes additional distraction. Obviously, music you dislike can be annoying, which is a form of distraction. But music you like too much can also be distracting.

Yes; it's actually not even particularly unusual. Conversations over the net have the advantage of being a non-threatening way to get to know someone and, sometimes, if a person has managed to interest you through articles and/or e-mail and this person continues to interest you when you meet for real, well, all sorts of interesting things have been known to happen.

More than was absolutely necessary, that's for sure. Sometimes I did it to throw the audience off of my trail, other times for the sake of comedy, and others because I just can't resist the allure of dramatic irony.

Regulation FD does not flatly prohibit private conversations with analysts. Rather, the rule restricts what can be said selectively to certain types of investors, including analysts and other investment professionals. The SEC has nonetheless acknowledged that analysts play a significant role in analyzing information available to the market. Relationships with analysts remain valuable, and "one-on-one" communications with analysts continue to occur notwithstanding Regulation FD.

There was a time when you could join a conversation, then block the other people in the chat box and keep on receiving the messages they exchange. But that's history now. I've been told there's a so-called MSN Conversation Sniffer out there, but never seen anything like that for real. I can hardly believe that *whatever* you type is automatically sent to Microsoft's server. Managing a permanent stream of data (including backspaces) makes no sense.

If you experience long delays, it is most likely because you are downloading a file or changing Web pages while you are talking. It is also possible you are connected to the Internet at a lower connection speed than your modem can support. Check your connection speed by moving your mouse over the "Network Connection" icon (two computers hooked together) in the Tool Tray usually found in the lower right hand corner of the Task Bar.
