I just finished my first lesson at
LiveMocha, a free language learning web site that is comparable to Rosetta Stone, but cooler because you get to befriend people and chat with people and help them with their lessons. I'm sad to admit I turned down the first three people who tried to chat with me because I was shy, but I'll get in there next time. I listened to a few lessons of other people and rated them, and people can rate mine, and it's an active learning community. What an exciting way to learn a language and connect with people around the world!
