  The paper describes a novel social network-based open educational resource
for learning foreign languages in real time from native speakers, based on the
predefined teaching materials. This virtual learning platform, named i2istudy,
eliminates misunderstanding by providing prepared and predefined scenarios,
enabling the participants to understand each other and, as a consequence, to
communicate freely. The system allows communication through the real time video
and audio feed. In addition to establishing the communication, it tracks the
student progress and allows rating the instructor, based on the learner's
experience. The system went live in April 2014, and had over six thousand
active daily users, with over 40,000 total registered users. Currently
monetization is being added to the system, and time will show how popular the
system will become in the future.
