1. Since we at Carpe Linguas give most of our lessons online it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that you will need an internet connection in order to take a lesson with us. Furthermore your connection should be fast and stable to ensure a problem-free, enjoyable lesson.

2. It is necessary that you install Skype ahead of your first trial lesson with us. Skype is a free software that is used to make internet phone calls with and without video conference. You will find everything you need to know about Skype and its installation in the according points below.

3. In order to use Skype as an internet telephone in our lessons, you will need a webcam as well as a microphone. Both are already pre-installed in modern notebook computers or smartphones. If you are using a desktop computer or an older notebook computer, you will need an external webcam and headset.
