I've heard you can learn/practice languages in VR.

Is this one of those types of programs?

Hi, I think so but it's really difficult to find someone to practice. I am Spanish and if do you want learn Spanish? I can teach you. Let me know. Thanks.

I'd definitely love to learn.

Actually I am looking for Japanese, although Spanish would be handy. Would prefer Catalan over Spanish.

More like a diverse social program. Think of it like a Discord call with strangers, but in full 3D and in VR. That isn't to say you can't use this as a language learning tool. In fact, you can use it for pretty much everything you could want to, if it's possible with your voice at least.

Basically, it's able to be used as a language learning tool, but that is not the main focus of it, and I am unsure of how many people would be able or willing to teach other languages.

You can, and it's pretty effective to. You can enter a world where there's a white board and colored markers and you can draw characters as many times as you want. VR is a good platform for education and there definitely should be more push toward it. I see several people using the Presentation World to practice mathematics and languages from time to time.

Although you "could" use it as a virtual classroom, what Cure Dolly and others use it for is a Japanese "ONLY" (or what ever language) setting. You are not allowed (or are ignored) to speak anything, but Japanese. So call it "Total immersion".

I would like to have the ability to draw kanji or make kanji signs for a bar or a izakaya. My idea of Total Immersion is not just speaking, but experiences and seeing too. But then you run the risk of people not respecting the room or others and drawing explicit things or just drawing over the stuff other's draw, etc.

You can create your own private room.
