Social Media:  

These are some of the great learning materials in Livemocha:

• Heavily-used chats - This site is so dynamic and one of the reasons is that no matter what time of day or not, there are people who want to practice your native language and the language you want to learn.
• Audio recording software - As soon as someone reads something aloud and submits it to the site, there will be a native English speaker who is willing and able to give feedback on the submission. Livemocha utilizes the English speakers who want to learn other languages to help the English learners. This builds confidence on both sides.
• Large number of exercises - Many programs just have a few exercises available for students, but Livemocha seemed to have a lot of optional exercises which allows students to practice until they have truly learned the lesson.
• Flashcards - Livemocha's flashcard sets are very handy and many have already been set up by other users and they've been rated by students who have used them.

Although there aren't any stories or articles available, it doesn't mean that members can't do them. The more talented people who join, the more they will have available. But we really wish there were more options available currently or that they were requesting this kind of information be submitted by members.

Their blog is used for company news and doesn’t enrich the language learner. It would be nice if they had an employee that had a blog for each language offered. This would add to the richness of their site.

Livemocha is doing an outstanding job using their audio capabilities. Students can converse with each other via instant messengers and they can also make audio files and send to their fellow members. There's even a place where members can look at a queue of entries that other members have made. Those needing correction in English simply submit their audio or written files and native English speakers can choose the ones they are interested in.
