KanTalk.com - SN For Foreign Language Learners

KanTalk is a social networking site that targets those learning a second language. Simply put, the general concept behind KanTalk is that a person would rather learn how to speak a second language by having real conversations with people of similar interests that going through the same learning process. I certainly know I would have been more motivated to learn spanish back in college if I was talking to a good looking girl.

Users can sign up with KanTalk and through the traditional social networking model find someone who is has the similar interests and is learning the same second language. KanTalk is integrated with SkypeCast to easily set up conversations.

The site is in a very early alpha stage (launched two weeks ago) and has about 400 members. KanTalk needs a ton of work on design, UI, and features, but the underlying concept is a great example of online social networking being applied to a real world use.
