Something On The Internet #2425920

I can't really say enough good things about livemocha.com. As someone who really enjoys learning new languages, I'm so glad someone put this together. It's a social networking site for learning a foreign language. You take rosetta stone style courses online to learn vocab and grammar, then write and record yourself doing little exercises, and people in the community who speak the language you're learning correct you and provide you with that kind of unabashed enthusiasm you can only find on the Internet. Basically, I correct people's English and French exercises, and native Spanish speakers correct my awful Spanish and don't even care that I butcher their beautiful mother tongue.

And it's all free. (look me up-- I'm alexandrak814)
