Yeah I have talked to some people from other countries, unfortunately they was all too stupid to understand what I say.. and I did not understand what they talk. the worst were native English speakers... Actually I'm not able to say loud out any of English words. It's so unspeakable, abnormal and horrible language.

Skype could be good thing, if they would use more resources for developing linux version, but seems they think Linux users are not important enough.. latest linux version is still 1.3.0.53 Mad

I also can't understand their speak.
That is sure that talking on other country people is too difficult to understand isn't it?
Because there are difference of cultures.

I'm sorry.
I am using Windows.
I don't know about Linux's detailed. Crying or Very sad

I don't use Skype, but the most fearful thing is to talk with a native speaker. I know I know, also had this problem before... They talk faster than I can think. Laughing

I use Skype so much and...i don't understand anything when native language people talk with me but we can learn it watching subtitled films in native language! That's a good way to do it!

My skype contact: lup0z_3d (the "0" is a zero!).
