I feel like the one thing that is missing from Memrise is (like Livemocha) the ability to do live audio recordings and send them to native speakers to give feedback and corrections. I felt like hearing a few sentences from a Native speaker about them selves or a subject, helped me with my pronunciation, in a way that the courses can’t. I know a lot of sentences, but I want to put the sentences together and create dialog off the cuff.
yeah, that was a great feature of livemocha… but the huge amount of resources required by that feature one probably one of the reasons they had to sell it to rosettastone - i gave up livemocha in that very moment, after 2 years on the site and a huge amount of “teacher” badges/points
