What is Skype and how is it installed?
Skype is the name of a free internet phone, which you’re also able to use for video calls. To be able to use Skype, you’ll first have to install the free software on your personal computer first. To do so, visit the Skype website http://www.skype.com/intl/en/home and choose your language from the drop down menu to install Skype accordingly to your wishes. You won’t need to buy a premium account to learn with us, but only to install the free software. Follow the installation assistant and set up your own account by choosing a username and password, which you’ll have to verify with your email address.
