Since I’m still on a start-new-stuff-it’s-a-new-year kick, I thought I’d share this neat site where you can learn a new language by helping someone else learn English.
My sister-in-law discovered LiveMocha and has been using it since the start of the new year. When she raved about it, I knew I had to share it with you.
LiveMocha is a collaborative site where you learn a language of your choice, and your work is corrected by a native speaker. In the world of LiveMocha, you earn credits to use the services by correcting someone else’s work in your native language. The more credits you earn, the more different courses you can use to learn your language. I think it’s such a clever idea!
Once you get learning (my sister-in-law is re-learning her high school and college Spanish), you have the option to start conversing via chat or video chat with a native speaker. I would be terrified to speak to a real human, but it sounds so neat! Wouldn’t it be cool if you made a friend by teaching each other a new language?
I studied Spanish in high school and college as well, but I think I’m ready to try a new language. French, maybe?
Oui from here.
