1. Naohiro Takizawa, Sum: MOO sites

About a week ago, I posted a query about language MOO sites. I have
received several responses so far, which I now post as a summary. I thank
the following people, who kindly responsed: Jonathan Cardozo, Dorine S.
Houston, Janice Cook, Kristina Harris, and Phoenix Lundstrom, and Susan
Simon.

The MOO and MUD sites for foreign languages are:

g oriented. but the above are designed especially for language learners.
