Learning Languages Effectively - Part 2

Here is an amazing FREE resource for learning a language. It's essentially a social networking model that's been applied to language acquisition and it's really great.

http://www.busuu.com

It's comprised of lessons that you study, then take quizzes on, then do a reading comprhension exercise and then, most interestingly of all, complete a writing exercise which is then corrected and rated by another site member who is a native speaker of the language you are learning. Great, great idea for leveraging the need on both side of the globe to learn the other's language.

Users are very generous with their corrections and you should be too if you sign up.

Some other great language resources are the Rocket Language Series:

Rocket French!
Rocket Spanish!
Rocket German!
Rocket Chinese!
