What makes Livemocha so popular?

The best instruction begins when people teach and learn from each other. Learning becomes more interesting when friendly people from different parts of the world offer their help and perspective. Livemocha has the world's largest community of native speakers eager to help and learn from each other—and that's what makes Livemocha so addictive and effective. Plus, you get to contribute your own knowledge to help others—and that feels great. When you enter Livemocha's community, it's like traveling around the world, but without the cost.

When you learn with real people, helping one another creates the motivation you need to improve. Livemocha also encourages you by providing unlimited practice opportunities and helpful reminders to maintain your progress. You can study at your own pace, repeat lessons as you wish, and access more languages, learning partners, and cultural tips than you could never get from a CD-ROM or text book.

If you are looking to translate a 1,000 page dissertation or write text in an ancient language, then Livemocha is not for you. But, if you are looking to gain practical, real-life language skills, Livemocha is your ticket. Livemocha courses are focused on building practical conversation skills—every lesson includes speaking and writing exercises that are reviewed by native speakers. Livemocha helps you build the confidence you need to speak a new language.
