I'm not quite sure what to make of this service. It uses Skype to enable people from the developing world to make money offering immersive language learning online. The rates are reasonable - 8 Euros an hour. But the company offering the service takes 25 percent off the top, which seems high to me. The website features a quick intro video, a half dozen languages, and ratings for individual tutors.
