I noticed this too (but after three posts), especially after asking what language they were interested in learning, and the answer I got back was three of the four offered on the site. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, I thought exactly the same thing on his first post but rather than challenge him, I thought I would just give my unrestrained first reaction. If I'd believed he was genuine, I would have been far less aggro about it and would have given a calmer, more rational description of why it is of little use to a serious learner. The criticism would have been constructive. I'm open to giving genuine feedback to people who ask for it honestly and openly, but anyone who comes along like KG did isn't being honest or open, and has earned any honesty or openness from me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, but the fridges RS would sell would be over-priced and they wouldn't work! Edited by Chris on 14 February 2011 at 1:23am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Of course they could: - That's because food absorbs the cold naturally, like a child eats ice cream. - No boring temperature controls. - An RS fridge is used by NASA in the astronaut lounge! - It's the fastest way to freeze your leftovers, guaranteed!"

You're attributing that to the wrong person. Go back and look at what you've quoted. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No, he's right -- I'm the one that was flaming the site. I've gone and revisited the site, and it is constantly going down in my estimation. It's a cheap copy of RS/LiveMocha, and it is far more restricted than either of them. I could give a full critique, but I don't know what good it will do. Either: A) KG is genuinely just a fan, and my criticisms will do no good. or: B) KG runs the site and gets free consultancy work without even asking politely. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I did the first 25 (out of 100) lessons of Mango Languages Spanish course. It is a totally free software/program, but you have to have a library card to use it. It is kind of like doing Pimsleur on the computer. It does not take you too far in the language, but it is FREE and it worked fine for an absolute beginner course.
