We have been using Talkabroad for several years and our students (and instructors) love it! The most important thing is to make sure it is a planned (mandatory) part of the curriculum, and that you have effective pre-and post-conversation
activities. That really makes a difference with students’ satisfaction. Also, Todd and his crew are great to work with. If you want more info, feel free to contact me.

We have been using TalkAbroad for several years, and I still highly recommend it. I just suggested it to a colleague in French, actually, and he might be using it
in the Fall.
I don't know if you wanted to know something in particular, but please feel free to ask.

Subject: Using TalkAbroad?
Hi all,
I'm interested to hear from anyone who has used or suggested their students use TalkAbroad. I'm interested to hear how it went and if you would continue to recommend
using this company. Feel free to contact me on or off list. Thanks!
