I haven't tried the Esperanto course, but the Russian and Chinese courses are top-notch. Plus you have the added bonus of communicating with native/fluent speakers.

razlem:Yes! It is really one of the best language resources available.Mi provis la retejon antaŭ multaj monatoj, sed ne tiom ŝatis ĝin. Ĝi instruas ĉiujn lingvojn per la sama metodo, kiu sensencas miaopinie, ĉar ĉiu lingvo havas siajn proprajn malfacilaĵojn. Estis ekzemple Esperanta leciono pri la neregulaj verboj, kiu ridetigis min.

I tried the website (livemocha) a few months ago, but I didn't really like it. It teaches all languages according to the same method, which is senseless in my opinion, because every language has its own difficult aspects. There was, for example, an Esperanto lesson about irregular verbs, which made me smile.

It teaches all languages using the same method, which is nonsensical IMHO, because every language has its own difficulties. There was for example an Esperanto lesson about the 'irregular verbs', which made me smile
(I really just sped through with that translation, so forgive me if I got things wrong!)
While Livemocha has its inefficiencies, I did used to like it quite a lot but I haven't used it in AGES.
Livemocha however is good for teaching sentence patterns, and vocabulary. This is very useful, especially for people like me who completely ignore such things due to our grammatical minds.
Whether the Esperanto course at livemocha is up to scratch, I'm not sure, since I haven't touched it much.
If you're not in the mood, it can be a bit boring

And the strange thing was that the requests were coming from all sorts of random locations all around the world - I hadn't even registered to learn their languages!
Ok, so I can help out a few people, but surely there should be some mechanism in the system to make it a fair exchange. I would have expected maybe one or two requests for help at the beginning, and then the more I use the system for my own learning, the more I am expected to help others. But, I was so overwhelmed with all the requests for help that it just got on my nerves and I turned my account off!
Maybe there's a way to fix this in the settings, but there was definitely something rather amiss with the default settings!

Chainy:Thanks for translating my message and my apologies: I either forgot that this was the English forum, or I forgot that I was writing in Esperanto. Either way, it's now translated.
