2nd Life

I signed up to second life as Jamon Delicioso. I was able to customize most of my appearance and basically, made a doppelganger of my true self. I realize that the fun thing about 2nd Life would be to make myself different from my true self but hey, I'm as entertaining as watching paint dry. I have yet to actually walk around the joint but when I do, I will seek out some language academies.

I can see the benefit to using the world as a language CALL tool. I've heard there are enclaves where one can go to learn just about any language one would want to learn. That is kinda cool. Although, the downfall would be that you don't get to practice listening and speaking as much as reading and writing.
