Yep, you've guessed it. This is an interview request. I'm writing for a new web magazine called Press Play. It focuses on indie media although occasinally big name things are allowed too. We are currently working through our first articles and I choose to write on something near and dear to my heart: Second Life. The idea I pitched is that SL can be used to learn and/or develop skills that can be applicable in real life such as photo editing, learning a new language, 3D modelling and the such. Just a warning, I'm working from the angle that Second Life is a game which I know is hotly contested. If you'd like to read the complete pitch I've put it in a Google Doc here I've omitted the names. That way you can see kind of where I'm coming from and where I'm going. Here's the interview request. I am looking for people who have used secondlife to gain a skill. For instance: People who have learned how to use Blender (or one of the many 3d modelling programs out there) to create mesh clothing People who have learned another language through secondlifePeople who have learned photo editing or photoshop etc by doing something that required these skills on Second LifeIf there's anything that you feel counts that I may have missed let me know these are the most common examples that I know are possible off the top of my head. To get in contact with me you can reply here or catch me in-world TempestTemptress Thanks in advance.

Haha, true on both accounts. I had joined a few French groups but they aren't the most talkative. Visiting Sims sounds like a good idea, thanks for that suggestion.

I think they mean homestead?

I've begun learning French and am interested in using Second Life as a resource to help me. I saw that there were people using SL to help them learn Spanish and a few other languages, but was wondering if there were such place/people who were doing the same thing with French?
