What do you guys think of it? I've been using it, and it's really helpful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm not personally impressed with the methodology, but if they believe in the method they should make it downloadable -- the pause before downloading each sound sample slows the course down too much and means I get bored quicker than I otherwise would.

I think it's good for giving you some sense of what the language looks like before you
start using other material. It's also good practice/revision. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think of it as Rosetta Stone "light", and have learned a bit from their (i.e. LiveMocha's) Chinese lessons, but some of the translations are non-intuitive, if not plain worthless.

I don't really like LiveMocha. I've used a few of the Spanish lessons and I'm not really sure how helpful they were.
Also, I uploaded a few dialogs of myself speaking French to get some feedback on my accent, and some creepy old man kept sending me messages that said things like "I adore your voice. Let's chat some time..." Needless to say, I deleted my account. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Nice for feedback but you don't necessarily learn much.

I tried LiveMocha twice and quit. I couldn't feel any benefit from it.

I used it for about a week to get the basics of hiragana/katagana, but got bored with it.
Flashcards just kill my language-learning motivation. 1 person has voted this message useful |
