Abstract
This article describes the experiences of using Skype in language teaching. Skype is an excellent piece of software for this purpose. It enables the user to continue their learning process online without the need for physical presence in class. In language teaching not all areas lend themselves readily for online teaching. Solving tests or doing exercises based on already familiar grammar items is easily transferrable from a classroom setting to online teaching via Skype.
