Lingq

I have been experimenting with Lingq in recent months. It's a website for language learners to learn and track their progress. They provide learning materials (audio with transcripts, podcasts, dialogues etc) and ways to hook up with other learners and even teachers to learn from. There is a point system where through earning points by adding content or buying points, you can use those points to buy services like having your written work corrected or participating in voice chats. There is a great feature whereby you can set goals and track your progress. It's fun to use and they are always adding new content, languages and features.

Ron,
I'd love to hear your thoughts on "The Linguist" and his system (upon which Lingq is based). Is it any more effective than other systems? What are its strengths and weaknesses? How would you recommend (or how have you been) combining it with other learning methods?
Thanks,
Jack
