Live Mocha

New site that uses social networking to help you connect with other people around the world who are interested in learning foreign languages as well as friendly native speakers of those languages who are willing to help you practice your skills.

From what I can see, your level of English will probably be much higher than the level of German most learners of German have, but that should not be a problem at all. You help them with their German and they help you with your English. For free!

The most exciting part in my view is the concept of community. Quoting from the site...
Community
Livemocha contains a friendly community of like-minded language learners. You'll make friends with and connect with native speakers.
Interacting with people from around he world will quickly develop your conversational skills and give you insight into regional language nuances, customs, and culture.


Here are two videos to watch explaining how livemocha works. Watch them and then just jump in and join the community!
