Of course, to join any of our sessions in Second Life, you will need a viewer (a viewer is like a browser, but it takes you to virtual 3D spaces, not web pages).To join in any sessions we run in Second Life you should ideally be a member of the Learn English forum and be in Teach's contact list on Second Life.If you don't have a Second Life account you'll need to become a member and download their recommended software, following the instructions online (it's all free).Virtual Worlds teach patience: Things go wrong, viewers crash, voice goes choppy, or fails altogether, people disappear in front of your eyes in the middle of a conversation, but as we like to say, ".technical issues are just another learning opportunity". To speak you will need a good quality microphone with a reasonable sound card (you can now buy USB headsets with a built in sound card).To hear any conversations you will need a good pair of headphones (or computer speakers).You must have a good Internet connection (the faster the better) and a good quality computer with sound card and graphics card. The technical requirements for any virtual world are quite high.The great thing about Second Life, in fact any virtual world, is that it's more than just sitting around, you move about and interact with other participants and the objects around you. We have been running English sessions in Second Life since 2010.
