It's not i like putting "2.0" on all my titles but
"Talk 2.0" is an offline (physical location) service being offered right
now by my company, CDI Holdings. BTW, we just went public
and the stock's been hot!
Back to "talk 2.0":
Who to email: davidhkim@cdiholdings.net
Well, why is talk 2.0 you ask? Because we also have a "debate mate" phone service that allows users to practice their English by discussing hot issues that are relevant to their lives here in Korea.
The website eslifestyle.com is being revamped right now. it'll be up in a month.
Offline activities such as these are vital for any education company even if you want to succeed online. people that meet outside of cyberspace get to truly understand and interact with one another thereby strengthening their relationship(s). That way they'll have more to say and share with one another online.
I see all the time. For example, Hackers is one of the biggest offline and online edu institutes in korea. Their online community is active but that's strengthened by the fact that they meet offline at places like Dunkin Donuts, Coffee Bean, Starbucks, etc. The first floor of my office building has a Dunkin Donuts where these students meet and interact and eventually study. The management had to deal with these study groups staying for hours so they put up a sign saying no more than 3 study groups at a time. Mind you the D&D downstairs is pretty big.
(First pic: people kept walking in and out, couldn't take
a straight pic.)
(NO MORE THAN 3 STUDY GROUPS)
Back to "talk 2.0":
- Meet people to disuccs current issues/ hot issues e.g. Beef FTA
- Have a moderator who guides the discussion
- Focused on allowing people to express perspectives
- Find a gf/bg (okay maybe not, but i'm sure this is as good a reason as the previous 3)

What is edu 2.0?
That's a question that "we" shall try to answer in the next year. How do we define education in this new era where learning (esp. English) goes beyond grammar rules learned in a classroom? Here in Korea, esl (english as a second language) is going through some fundamental and radical changes that will determine the fate of this country as it seeks to gain a foothold and capitalize on the emergence of Asia - economically and otherwise (http://www.worldmapper.org/posters/worldmapper_map164_ver5.pdf)
There is a palpable need for English.
Kids ▶ no English ▶ no good college ▶ no good job ▶ hard life.
Adults ▶ no English ▶ hard to get promotion
(side: more frequent M&As in Korea predicted for this year involving large foreing national companies. How's it gonna feel being stuck in the elevator with your new boss when you can't say two words to him?)
So what's everyone to do? Well, don't worry there's help on the way. In the form of what? How bout this to start....
