My Review 

Although Live Mocha isn't a traditional CD/book program, it offers a unique approach to learning Spanish and many other languages.

Everything is on the website. There are no books or CDs. You can access the website at http://www.livemocha.com. After choosing your desired language, a series of exercises will lead you though the intuitive learning process; Watch, read, choose, write and speak.

The unique feature is that, for the writing and speaking exercises, once you are finished, you send them to native speakers all over the world who will review them and offer suggestions. A great way to meet people from Spanish-speaking countries!

You will also be given the opportunity to review and comment on the exercises of others who are learning English. A very rewarding experience.

I can't recommend this too highly.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
