There are other ways of learning a language, too, of course.
One newly emerging method is by linking you up via mobile phone to native speakers in the language you want to learn.
Here is how the Verbling app is described:
After joining, the startup automatically pairs people that want to learn Spanish and are fluent in English, for example, with the opposite — those who are fluent in Spanish and want to learn English. It's immersion via reciprocity. Users are matched by their experience levels and are encouraged to switch back and forth between languages (by an accompanying timer), with the system suggesting various prompts and targets along the way.
Interesting stuff
