Espan YO!

Everyday when I come to work, Senor Mendoza searches me out so that he can test my Spanish, see if I've learned anything since the last time he saw me. Well, this makes my day, even though I haven't. But someday I'd like to really surprise him with a few fantastic phrases. So, I'm really excited about starting my language lessons at www.LiveMocha.com. LiveMocha is one of the hottest Web 2.0 start-ups in the Seattle area which is "bringing language learning out of the classroom and into the online community, tossing aside limitations of geography, and providing a forum for people to interactively share their knowledge and skills". They have just enrolled their One Millionth user! The mission statement says they are "redefining the language learning market through the introduction of a language 2.0 platform that integrates rich dynamic online instructional content with a social network of native language speakers". I'm hoping that LiveMocha will breathe some life into all that learning I did back in the day and that it will be even more fun that 10th grade Spanish Club.
