I've covered quite a few sites - like <A HREF="http://www.liquidelearning.com/2008/01/livemocha-language-learning-and-social.html" REL="nofollow">www.livemocha.com</A>, <A HREF="http://www.liquidelearning.com/2008/01/italkicom-language-learning-community.html" REL="nofollow">www.italki.com</A>, <A HREF="http://www.liquidelearning.com/2008/01/palabeanet-language-learning-community.html" REL="nofollow">www.palabea.com</A> and <A HREF="http://www.liquidelearning.com/2008/02/voxswapcom-social-networking-and.html" REL="nofollow">www.voxswap.com</A>. <BR/><BR/>I've also reviewed <A HREF="http://www.liquidelearning.com/2007/11/lingrocom-open-source-language-learning.html" REL="nofollow">www.lingro.com</A> - which is a web 2.0 language learning resource.

HuiTalk started up last summer, and has around 1500 members, VoxSwap opened its virtual doors last week. I think they could all be great environments for learners to develop their language skills.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>MIchaelMichael Shadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769991041294693716noreply@blogger.com
