Are you eager to learn a new language from a native speaker but don’t want to pay for it? The new wave of so called web 2.0 technologies can provide you this opportunity by giving you access to numerous native speakers. With only a broadband connection, podcast, and Skype.
For example, the company Praxis offers free Chinese lessons delivered straight to your computer every day. The latest dialogue is delivered as a podcast on your iPod along with the Chinese characters of that day. To move even beyond this, your Skype phone is ringing and someone at the other side of the line says Ni hao to begin the lesson.
Another musing on technology: last week Google and Salesforces (delivers software through a browser) announced a partnership to bundle their powers and blend their software products. Salesforces is one of the leading companies in offering software as a service, one of the most promising technology concepts for the future. Software as a service envisions the ultimate form of delivering on demand services in order to gain business agility.
