Hi Morton,
I am amazed at how Green Acres has blossomed into a thriving activity. Congrats, bigtime!! hehe
Btw, I'm glad you mentioned "practicing english". On a couple of occassion, I've been asked to chat with people in SL so they could practice English. It is one of those benefits that doesn't get much mention but is an obvious application in virutal worlds with voice tech.

Language learning is done best in a "natural" environment that provides practice with phrases and vocabulary that a language learner may encounter in his/her life.
