I received a nice comment from someone at another online site and wanted to write a post informing you about LiveMocha.  LiveMocha takes the power of online social networking and allows students to learn another language.  No downloads.  Users can study a language solo or use the site’s search function to identify and contact native speakers of the language they are trying to learn. 

It is interesting to just visit LiveMocha and browse the profiles of the students and see how they are learning multiple languages.
