I once took an 10-lesson Esperanto course via E-mail. The whole program was
headed under one supervising instructor, who would assign each student to a
tutor. If we had enough volunteers, we might be able to do that.

If we use this system, we should have the head instructor be someone highly
skilled in the language. All persons interested in being tutors would send
application to the head instructor.

Then the student(s) to whom you are assigned will send their completed
lessons to their tutor, who would send back corrections. I doubt we need to
carry it as far as IRC. But at least having tutors would make the learning
process a little easier than it would be for a student who is "going it
alone".
