We've developed a great tool for language immersion and acquisition. It 's called Meglobe and it's an instant messaging application that also performs real time language translations. It also allows for users to collaborate together to improve and teach the system to become a better translator.

We've had an opportunity to speak with various foreign language professors and they've all found Meglobe to be very useful and some have opted to recommend it to their students.

Meglobe is web based and free to use.
