Language and Mocha

January 13, 2009

Learning a foreign language becomes easier to some and difficult to others, however everyone can do it. The most important thing is to really want to learn it. Whether the impetus for motivation comes from a business trip, a vacation or move to a different country, a partner who speaks the language, needing to know it for a career, or just because it’s effective to keep inspiration and motivation at the forefront of the mind. I have hunted ways on how to learn French via the internet. I tried watching video from YouTube and it seems helpful since I have acquired a few set of expressions. I’ve also tried online translation sites and they are quite useful.

But I have to say that Livemocha is the best language learning tool I’ve ever found on the Internet. It makes learning a new language really plain sailing. This is coming from someone who always fantasized about learning to speak in French. I could say that Livemocha is doing a good job of helping people like me to have a grasp of the language we are interested about. The best part is that you can work at your own pace, when you have the time. It’s always there, waiting for you. If you want to redo a section, you can. Take it slow or work as swift as you want. Another great thing I love about Livemocha is that you can add friends and submit your exercises to them for review. It makes the learning situation interactive and collaborative in nature. Learning through Livemocha is engaging and fun. Almost as if you were just playing casino. Putting that into analogy it’s like there is an online casino guide that could help you all throughout.

I can’t stress it enough that learning another language is beneficial and yet challenging. It’s great to know that there are ample ways to learn language. But still, the best way to learn it is to sleep with a native. 😉
