11. Poetry reading
I once involved myself in just such an activity. We have a microphone which we occasionally connect to this computer. At another forum, I'm familiar with a French woman from Lyon. She's rather self-conscious of her English and wishes to improve it. She thought it would help if I would post poems in their written form, and then recite it myself into the mic, upon which I would upload the recording. She listens. I'm not sure if it was ultimately so productive, but her English is perfectly acceptable anyway, and we all enjoyed it.

I didn't compose any of them, though. I found an impressive range from talented Japanese poets.

It's truly impressive that you compose them yourself.

Oh, and 10:36pm... of course, of course many time zones would span the United States.
