Livemocha-learn a language while social networking

I came across this tool while reading the blog Social Web Tools. Livemocha is a social networking site but also you can complete 4 levels of language training in many languages. It looks very promising. I don’t think it looks great above the intermediate level but for getting the basics it looks quite good for a free tool.

Join, be my friend, send me lots of messages, umm you can send me messages but just don’t send lots of silly messages.

If you are going to spend the money, why not buy the grand-daddy of all language learning programs Rosetta Stone. Check out the links below.VVVVVV

    I’m finding it very useful so far!
    Thanks for the link-back, have a good one.

    Can I put in a word for Esperanto as well?

    I suggest not because it is now a living language but because it has great propaedeutic values as well

    You can see detail on http://www.lernu.net

    Hi all, I help out http://www.edufire.com and invite everyone to browse the site. I have found that livemocha.com is also a great tool for online language learning, but both sites have unique offerings that can aid with your language learning.

    Let me know if you want to try a free one hour session.

    Hmm, not sure whether or not to consider the following comments spam or not. I had looked into edufire before but decided it was too much for not enough bang. Sorry, what the hell is Esperanto, at the risk of sounding ignorant(er)? If you are looking for free language learning resources I would suggest Livemocha, thanks cha cha fance and her webtools blog for the tip. If you are going to spend any money at all on language learning I highly recommend Rosetta Stone, it’s expensive but I have not found anything close to what it offers. Maybe I will put an affiliate link to the body.

    Esperanto is a man-made language, designed with the goal of being a common, international language. It has a group of adherents from around the world (or advocates?) who are quite vocal in its support. That’s about all I know.

    I’ve been debating over the Rosetta stone training materials. can’t quite decide. hmmmm.

  6. Owen Says:

    I think Rosetta Stone is great but it is not cheap. If you have a real need to learn the language then I think Rosetta Stone is the way to go. If you have an interest in learning the language but might not stick to it then Rosetta Stone is an expensive hobby. I’d try some of the free online materials. It depends on your needs.
