Steps to learn a language on www.livemocha.com:

1-The site receives you with a welcome screen where says that you could learn a language there. So, you need to select your native language and the one that you want to learn or practice. This leads you to an screen to register in the service. It is necessary to provide some details as email, nickname and the language that you manage plus the one you want to improve.

2- Here is where the fun starts! Now that you have your account on Livemocha you can perform a variety of actions to improve the language you are interested on. So, the first option that I want to highlight is the one to be part of online courses. There you have access to practices, videos and other media. Once you complete each practice you can send them to other people to give you observations about your answers and, of course, you can get the answers.

Along with practices and courses there you have to option to meet people. In this case, Livemocha becomes in a big social network where you can contact people from all over the world. The advantage that Livemocha has compared to other social networking pages is that you know that there people is interested on learning a new language. So you can focus on that. You can add new friends and start chats.

3- For the, the chat aspect deserves an individual mention here. Once you have found a person that you see that wants to learn the same language that you, you can mark the chat tab. This one will make visible a new screen where you can send him or her messages and also audio and video. In this case it is more like a messenger than a social network.

That's it. Livemocha.com is a great online language learning community, a social network and a messenger.

Www.twitter.com is like an enormous instant messenger where not only our contacts will see our messages but a lot more of people. It is just necessary to have an account in this free microblogging service and we will be able to post short messages called Tweets.

The first one because we can build friend circles and follow others; the second one because we can share anything that we consider interesting to be shared. Even, we can publish thoughts, personal experiences, points of view, etc...
