Lately I’ve been looking for time effective ways to improve my Spanish and I’ve found a few different interesting products and services that fit my needs. One of those is LiveMocha, a social network centered on language learning and immersion. Signing up is free and once you’re in they give you an abundance of tools to learn a new language with. They offer self-directed courses you can take, live chat with other members who speak the language you’re learning (I’ll touch more on that in a future post, I found a really cool app), a practice section where other members edit or review your written submissions and a community driven tutoring section.
They’ve also got all the other features you’d expect to find in a social network such as messaging and friends lists. Overall I think they’ve got the right mix of user to user interaction and self directed activities and I plan to continue being a part of their community. You can check them out at www.livemocha.com.

My name is Clint, and I work at Livemocha. Just saw your mention of Livemocha.com and wanted to say thanks for trying the site. Glad you like it.
Also, I expect that someone from EduFire will comment on your blog as well, following a long-standing habit of leaving comment spam on every blog mention of Livemocha. That's the nature of the blogosphere, I guess...
Let me know if you have any feedback on Livemocha. I'd love to hear it. Have a great summer!
