site review - Livemocha.com - a place to learn Languages

TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award winner Livemocha is truly a site for sore eyes to anyone who is trying to learn languages. And, since it is constantly changing because of the social media they are exploiting, it is probably being bettered as you are reading this review. As far as technology and social media usage, Livemocha’s site is a dream come true for the language learner. Students can converse any time they want with students from all over the the world. Their embrace of technology was like no other we’ve seen before. The social media is being used as it was really meant to be. Students are out there sharing, conversing, and teaching each other all because Livemocha has made it so easy. And the forums are growing. In fact, the site has real potential to dominate the language teaching world.
Livemocha's website is exceptionally easy to use and the interfaces let the student know exactly where they are and how much further they need to go in the lesson. But if a student isn’t satisfied with their knowledge, there are additional practice sessions available at that level. They can also opt to use the tutors as teachers.

These are some of the great learning materials in Livemocha:

• Heavily-used chats - This site is so dynamic and one of the reasons is that no matter what time of day or not, there are people who want to practice your native language and the language you want to learn.
• Audio recording software - As soon as an English speaker reads something aloud and submits it to the site, there will be a native Spanish speaker who is willing and able to give feedback on the submission. English speakers naturally help the Spanish speakers try to speak English. This builds confidence on both sides.
• Large number of exercises - Many programs just have a few exercises available for students, but Livemocha seemed to have a lot of optional exercises which allows students to practice until they have truly learned the lesson.
• Flashcards - Livemocha's flashcard sets are very handy and many have already been set up by other users and they've been rated by students who have used them. 

Although there were some options for learning alternative subject matters, Livemocha hasn’t done much to develop materials for those who need specific vocabulary for a job in the restaurant industry or in healthcare, however, there is nothing keeping students from finding study partners that can help them in this particular endeavor, or whatever topic they are interested in.
