Hello! Thank you for your article. I’d like to try to compare it to my previous experience of learning Ukrainian through Skype on online classes. I did around ten conversations over Skype with a native speaker from http://preply.com/en/ukrainian-by-skype. And I was pretty satisfied with their Quality. I think they have a strong teaching quality, practicing their course curriculum now I can speak Ukrainian easily like a native they also provide personal tutors, but I Want to try another option.

Microsoft recently showcased a new Skype feature that allows for real-time, two-way, voice translation! This feature will make the Skype Cultural Exchange even more extensible and will allow those who use Skype for non-native language acquisition to have in-depth conversations, in their own languages, about their progress and issues in their learning.

At the beginning of October, cybercriminals started spreading some nasty pieces of malware via Skype by using messages such as “lol is this your new profile pic” to trick users into clicking on malicious links.
According to security firms, millions of users might have infected their computers after clicking on the suspicious links. Although the infection rates have dropped since, security researchers say that the individuals responsible for developing and maintaining the threats known as W32.IRCBot.NG and W32.Phopifas haven’t given up on their project.
The infection routine remains unchanged, but the developers have added new hosts from which the pieces of malware can be downloaded, Symantec experts explain.
