Neat idea

Learning a new language, or watching one fade from lack of exercise? An online service called Mixxer allows you to find a native speaker of that language to practice on (and then allow them to practice your native language, which they're learning, on you). I guess you speak online using Skype (a free Internet-based phone system), so you can be anywhere in the world. Better than the average pen pal!!
