Livemocha

This is the home page.

Livemocha is a website that you should definitely check out if you want to practice your English. To join Livemocha, you need to click on the link, go to the homepage, and tell them what language you speak and what language you want to learn (English, I hope)! You need to give them your email address, make up a password, and you're ready to start!

These are the three questions.

  • After you answer a few questions about what your goals are, you will get to your "Welcome [your name]" home page. 

This will be your home page.

Under "My Activities" (on the left-hand side), click on "Start a Course." The "Active English" course is great, with videos and helpful information, but it does cost money. The "Basic English" course is free. Once you join, you'll probably get emails from Livemocha offering you a free trial period of Active English, so take advantage of that! You can take the Active English class for $9.95 a month, and that's a good deal if you have lots of time to spend working on your English.

These are the two types of courses. Active English costs money; Basic English is free.

One thing I really like about Livemocha is that you can get feedback on your written and spoken work from real English speakers. They might also become your "friends." And you can also help people who are learning your native language.

If you have any questions about using Livemocha, please add a comment to this post and I will try to help you.
