About this trail:
Mark, these are some of the tools I've been looking at lately while researching my idea for an online summer
"course" to help students maintain and (if needed) catch up before binging the L3.
Language Exchange seems a good way for them to exchange/find other skype users. Of course, my students are already used to using skype in the L2 course.

Now, LiveMocha seems more of what I'm looking for: grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversation. I'm looking forward to finding out more about it.

Babbel is in its infancy, but it too could be promising. It (if it takes off) will be truly community driven.
4
Mango is another one. But it seems to be mostly a grammar and vocabulary builder. If I get a chance, I'll look into it more, but for now, LiveMocha seems like the most promising.
