There are many opportunities for students to use virtual worlds to enhance their German language fluency and to experience German culture in virtual worlds. In Second Life there is a large German speaking community and lots of places with a German flavour. Several German cities have been created in Second Life to replicate some of the notable architecture. There are also historical recreations of Germany in the 1920s. There are some university locations made by German universities. Sometimes the social areas made by the general public are incredibly useful as you get a diverse range of shops, venues, architecture and artefacts.
