Do you love social networking? Do you want to learn a new language? Did you know that you can do both on Livemocha?

Livemocha is a fun & free way to learn a new language right from the comfort of your home. You can learn English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Icelandic, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian & Mandarin Chinese with easy to use online courses. I really think this is a great idea considering that many people would love to learn to speak a new language.

Livemocha allows you to enroll in FREE online courses, learning at your own pace. Each language has four courses, 101, 102, 201 & 202. Courses 101 & 102 are 50 hours of learning and 201 & 202 are 30 hours of learning. Each course then contains 6 parts which involve reading, listening, writing & more; these courses really get you involved & also include appropriate pictures that relate to what you’re learning.

Each course defined in their own words:

101 - For students starting with the basics with little or no exposure to the language.
102 - For students who can start putting sentences together. Students should be able to introduce themselves and understand some instructions.
201 - For students who are comfortable enough to ask a few questions and follow simple conversations.
202 - For students who can have simple back and forth dialogs and follow more complicated conversations.

Besides being a language learning site, Livemocha is built around social network that allows you to meet new people, make new friends, send messages, etc. The profiles are not very extensive but to me, it really doesn’t matter since I’m mainly there to learn.

If you’re looking to learn a new language for fun, business or just to better yourself, I really suggest you sign up for Livemocha. The site is very easy to use & you’ll be speaking a new language in no time.
