Imagine you can go to China or Taiwan and spend time any amount of time to practice your Chinese. Um, you don't have the time, money, or resources?

Enter the online game, Zon.
It is a virtual environment for one to learn Chinese. I didn't get a chance to play with it yet. But watching the video I see some pros and cons

Pros
Interactive way to explore a virtual space and learn Chinese
Use of video and game to make learning fun
It is free!

Cons
Looks like only simplified Chinese is supported
May be good for beginners but not intermediate to expert people. I am interested in seeing how advance the vocabulary is.

I can't wait to try it out and report back.
