Is there anyone who is a member of Livemocha here?

I am. I've had one since it was a newer site. I haven't used it in a while, though. All these creepy Iranian guys in their 30s kept bothering me.

I think it was because I was so young that the creeps came. I'll have to get on again and see if the creeps are still there.

I'm was on livemocha. In fact, it's one of my most recommended language-learning sites. However, I am anything but active. Haven't been there for years. What put me off first was that when I moved to Germany and tried to continue my beginner German, the site picked up my German IP and then the whole site was in German, including the the explanation of the next step in the course. I sent them an e-mail, and they told me they couldn't do anything about it - it's a "server thing" (of course, I understand that, and had mentioned it in the e-mail and actually telling them they ought to "fix" that).. Since then, I haven't been back, but I do recommend the site.

In the meantime, I do speak German very well (ich kann sehr gut Deutsch - wirklich! Nach acht Jahren hoffe ich - after eight years, I'd hope so) and now that that little issue is over, I do recommend the site. I'm only not using it, now, 'cause the language I'm now learning - my third - isn't available yet.

(Hope they've decided to fix that problem.)

I actually agree with you there are a LOT of languages livemocha should add to it's already growing number of e-learning materials. I for one have a hard time sharing my thoughts in my own language because there is no course regarding my own mother tongue. I usually just enable English as proficient since I am able to understand it although English is my second subject.
