The quality of the audio many times is severely lacking, while typographical and even grammatical mistakes are not uncommon. The Russian courses even lack a letter of the alphabet, ё! I love Livemocha, but quality needs to improve dramatically if it is to fully compete with other language-learning alternatives.
