Talk:Spanish: An Introduction

IRC channel

Maybe we could establish an IRC channel for this subject. What you think?--Juan 15:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge

I'm going to keep adding these merge tags to new participation pages in the Spanish Department until things get merged/sorted out, and students know where to go. The Jade Knight 22:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I think its chaotic. Sorted would be better. Anyway is there any rule, that there cant be to courses, project, lessons about the same, but having a different point of wiev. So I am against the merge.--Juan 09:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what your point is. As it currently stands, there is no way for potential students/instructors to tell which of the six lists they should sign up at in the Spanish program. Either these lists need to be combined, or there needs to be a clear sorting system, or a combination of the two. The Jade Knight 09:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Concerning the merge with Spanish One, much of this material looks like it will be similar. What will be the differences? Why would a student choose one and not the other? This, above all, needs to be clear. The Jade Knight 09:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I have sturted the new one, cus the old one looks death. Anyway there could be a difference in methods. So I would vote for king of sorting.--Juan 12:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

@Thats what the sitution will completely block. Yes! It is possible sorted them out. But the code used in Spanish is difficult and for me additional work. I am becomming to be tired from this birocracy.--Juan 15:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Vocabulary

We need to be able to organize vocabulary words into parts of speech as well as category (around the house, eating, school, at the park.) Is there any way we can have references to the wiktionary?JoelWhitehouse 15:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, I can link all the vocabulary to wiktionary via wiktionary:en: Is what you ment?--Juan 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Extra line

When I added myself to the table as a student, why is there an extra line above my name?? Buddpaul 17:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

This bug was fixed.--Juan 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Skype

Is there any possibility of us using some other form of voice communication? "Skype" for my system simply doesn't exist (GNU/Linux on PowerPC). --Rjc 15:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, what kind of protocol you suggest?--Juan 06:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

SIP, H.323 or any other open protocol would do.--rjc 10:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard of either of those. Most commonly used protocols (in no particular order): AIM, MSN (now Live Messenger), Skype, ICQ, Yahoo, GTalk (and, of course, IRC, but that's no good for voice). The Jade Knight 01:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I was talking about protocols, not particular software. Please check VoIP about what VoIP is. --rjc 11:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yahoo, AIM, and MSN are all protocols. I use VoIP regularly. I don't really understand what you're getting at. The Jade Knight 02:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

AIM is a software and it uses OSCAR protocol (also used in ICQ), MSN or now WLM uses MSNP protocol and Yahoo! uses YMSG, but that's beside the point. Client !== Protocol. What I was talking about ware the open protocols, so everyone can use them - I would also like to be able to comunicate with you, that's why SIP, H.323 or even XMPP/Jabber using a client with libjingle.--rjc 02:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

helping

I can help you teaching (I am a navite speaker and a teacher in real life but this project doesn't explain how to do it. I'm "Barcelona" user in catalan wikipedia--62.175.87.83 11:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I recommend you create a username for Wikiversity, and contribute under that. Your help in teaching would be much appreciated (at least by me) in the Spanish department. Right now the project does not explain how because there is no set way—you can edit the pages, and add any content you think would be helpful. If you were to structure an online course in learning Spanish, how would you do it? The Jade Knight 11:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Stalled?

Has this course stalled?? Buddpaul 17:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope not, but its very difficult to create all the content just by myself. Maybe there should be a better methodology, when students will help to create this conntent. Good point we can run and IRC, channel.--Juan 18:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Plan

I think its important for us to plan the course 1st and then begin adding to the course following established layouts. Forgive me for saying so, but the course currently seems very messy to me and i think it might put people off joining. There are too many red links etc and layout is not consistent. I propose that we begin a plan here --RMFan1 17:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Nothing to forgive: you just tell your opinion. And that is welcome here.

If you have some ideas, tell them please. It is a wiki, you just have to be bold. ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 18:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
