A friend of mine in Hong Kong has set up a virtual world called GC Life which is designed as a place for people to learn and practise using their languages, and to explore and chat.

There are regular meet ups within GC Life for various language, including French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hungarian, Italian and German, and other languages could be added if there is demand for them.

This could be a useful language learning tool, if you enjoy spending time in virtual worlds.

Have you used anything like this for language learning and/or for practising your languages?
