Web 2.0 and language learning

In another Economist piece this week on learning languages (Mandarin 2.0) – they talk about how the internet and technology is really changing language learning.

Podcasts and other technologies also get a mention – pity they overlooked the impact that memory training and learning a language with a mobile phone is also making.
