Learn a language... the Mashable way


Mashable recently published an article on 3 top uses of social media in the Education system. Rather than having schools fight social media, the article illustrates how educational institutions that embrace technology actually augment student performance.

My challenge to you ~ if, according to the article, kids are able to learn languages better by having ongoing Skype sessions with kids from another country, why not see how well you can pick up a new language in the same way. Sites like The Mixxer can help you do this, but you could have fun finding other ways to make international friends.

Raise awareness for the Fund for Public Schools by documenting your journey learning a new language via Skype with new friends from abroad and posting links to video in the comments, facebook or @NY_OhMy.
