SoZiety is the fun way to improve your ability to speak in various foreign languages. Their main service is connecting people trying to practice their language skills via Skype to interact and learn from using the language directly, instead of paying for lessons and materials.
There are other services available as well, such as a flash cards game, where you can test your knowledge at translating various words into other languages, groups that you can create based on whatever terms you want, and chat rooms. You can even add text or a document to the site and ask for a translation. If it´s a lengthy bit of text, you can offer to pay someone to do the translation at the price you name. Another way to make money from using the site is through the money they make from ads. The higher site karma you have, based on user ratings and interaction with the site, the more of a chance you have to make it into the group of people that gets to take a portion of the profit from the ads. So instead of just taking basic language lessons, spice it up and talk to people from various countries to improve your skills while making a profit.
Soziety.com In Their Own Words
“SoZiety is a social network service designed to help people to improve languages. At this moment you may think that we are some kind of language academy, but that is not the case.”
Why Soziety.com It Might Be A Killer
Learning and improving your skills at other languages is important nowadays as the global community becomes tighter and tighter, so a free way in which to practice these skills while making a profit is something people would be interested in. Also, lots of travelers and people interested in international affairs already have Skype as a way of communicating with others for free no matter where they are, so it takes advantage of the fact that many people will be able to sign up and start interacting immediately since they wont need to download anything or go through any sort of lengthy profile set up.
Some Questions About Soziety.com
There is a lot of development left to do on the site, such as the flash cards not working when I tried to use them, so it´ll be interesting to see what happens has the site grows. How are they planning on expanding their user base or increase users” interaction with the site, since it appears that few people are using the site currently? Are they really going to be making enough of a profit just from ads to share enough of the profit with users that that´s actually an enticement to use the site?
