Harald: I share your opinions, but what I also mean, and what I think Tom meant is that the better you know a person, the more it COULD hurt (it doesn't HAVE TO hurt...) When you know a person THAT well, you know that persons thoughts and even feelings, and it's sometimes easy to say or do something hurtful...But I agree 100% when you say that it's great and SO valuable to have a friend THAT close...:)

Learners’ voices:• I like this because it is a win/win situation. To help
others and get help back is nice. Co-operating is very important in our daily lives and our future jobs!
• I like this because we so easily can compare and share information on what we know and what we do not know about the American way of living
• We never worked alone, and many helped me with my work
• It doesn’t matter if it is yours or others. This way it is possible for people to argue and discuss
• Because then I don’t have to be afraid of making a mistake ‘cause there will always be someone there to clear it up!
• Someone can change what you have written, even when you know what you have written is correct
• My texts got deleted• You socialize… in a weird way

May: “(…) I lost the learners (….) it was difficult to trace, for me as a teacher, who had contributed with what, and I felt that I lost the learners, I did not know where to go in order to guide them (…) because in general there is no extensive space for a teacher (…) it becomes a separate world (…) they [learners] tend to disappear into their separate worlds and it becomes difficult for me to guide them and maintain my job as a knowledge provider. (…) I don’t know what is the end product, what I am supposed to assess at the end”
