LivemochaReviews 6

I had an account around 6 years ago and was learning Norwegian. I left the site alone for a while and lo and behold, after this update Norwegian is no longer an option and my account is apparently gone.
Norwegian is under 'coming soon' but I don't believe that. Norwegian isn't an uber popular language so I highly doubt it's on their radar.

Technically, I left the site in the first place because I wasn't really thrilled with how it was done. It was okay, but I've been on better.

I just read about this on the New York Times and decided to give it a go. I'm still figuring it out, but it seems like a pretty promising way to go about learning languages - by interacting with native speakers and getting feedback from them through written and oral submissions (that are provided as practice through free or fairly cheap courses) or simply by chatting. On the flipside, you can also act as a teacher by reviewing submissions by those wanting to learn your language. All interactions result in Mochapoints, and I believe even a chosen few who have earned enough points can be employed by Mocha as online teachers.

The only concern I have about this is that some folks may be thinking of it as a singles / dating site. Of course you can submit your photo, age, relationship status, etc. So just look out for those without the real intention of learning / teaching.

The site is somewhat tricky to navigate at first, but with a few minutes, you get the hang of it. I submitted some feedback this morning and found it quite easy. As well, it seems that the community in general is there for the right reasons.
