Here's why I love Second Life: Because it contains a Resident named Wam7c Macchi. And without fanfare, Wam7c Macchi has built an interactive teaching device. Which helps you learn to speak another language. Rather, to pronounce it. Or to be even more precise, to pronounce Tibetan consonants.
Don't believe me? Watch Mr. Macchi's video demo, or go in-world to try it out for yourself. (Direct SLURL teleport to his booth at this link.) You might even visit his real world website.
And here's the thing that keeps me up at nights: If one Resident in half a million has devoted so much time to such a wonderfully particular task, what are the other 499,999 doing?
