Improved Community Capabilities

First…I absolutely love the Rocket Languages courses. In less than two months I have come incredibly far along with my German. Thanks! Second…One area I really think Rocket Languages could improve is in the usefulness of the My Community section (which I’ve noticed is quite underutilized). Are there plans to improve this capability? For example, if you had the ability to both verbally and in written form communicate with other learners at or near the same learning level in real-time, it would add another dimension to the learning. Matching users by their overall progress could facilitate this. Again, the current Rocket experience is excellent. I find that I am able to quickly and coherently learn the material in each lesson. To be able to communicate this material with others in real-time, via both spoken and written methods, would cement my knowledge. Just a thought. Cheers! Jeff

I sent an email a few months back and was told that they are going to be doing some changes and putting in few features for the my community section. I don't know when that would be though.

they should add an area where people could talk to each other, and practice the language that they are learning.

Hi Jeff/Jeremy/Dionna - I apologize for the extremely late reply! I just thought that I would let you know we are looking into this right now. Keep an eye on the blog and/or Rocket News about upcoming developments!

An IM chat feature would be welcome, especially if there would also be a list where you can see who is online in your language lobby.
