They say the best way to learn a language is to get stuck in, immersing yourself in a culture in a way that means you have no choice other than to adapt. Human interactions, with all the real life quirks which make language so interesting, are essential if you are to become fluent.I think these kinds of virtual environments are really great, really good. Kids in school respond very well to these sorts of approaches.” -Linda Parker, Association for Language Learning
