What I'm noticing is that during the week I can get a little rusty. When I finally have a day off and can do my 2 hours of Skype classes, the first one starts off slow because I need to warm up a bit (not always the case, but it's pretty common)
I find it helps a lot if I spend a few minutes before the session warming up by speaking out loud. It’s even better if I watch a short video or read aloud a little in the language first, before doing the speaking warmup. It switches my brain to the right language.
