Awesome Sherry! Thanks for the info. I did find another one, apart from the ones in the comments: http://www.studentteacherexchange.com/ which is completely free and uses chat/video/voice and whiteboards as well. They are new but my guess is they will be booming soon since they charge nothing.

I love babbel and use it all the time for quick responses, but for more solid information i have been going directly to the source using eduFire.com . They have language tutors available all the time, I really like getting some input from a live person before I take a trip.

Very COOL! This is exactly what I wanted from the “Travel Alarm Clock” posting you made a couple of weeks back. Now if they could just combine the two technologies and provide it as small as both, that would be very, very, convenient. Thanks again for the cool updates.

Another great site to check out is http://www.edufire.com. I use livemocha and edufire to learn Spanish currently and they are great resources on the web to learn any language. I will check out Babbel as well, thanks for the link.

If you or your readers want to try eduFire out for free let me know and I can get something set up for all.

Being a geeky traveller myself somehow, I really appreciate that Babbel.com is reviewd on this site. Thanks for the positive feedback, Sherry!
