ACTFL has just featured a new language exchange service called Hello-Hello.
There is also The Mixxer from Dickinson College. I'd suggest that he look at
these.

I've just gotten one of the perennial requests:  A mid-fifties
professor tells me that he will be working in Costa Rica beginning in
the middle of next semester.  What can he do to begin learning
Spanish on his own, in the three months before he leaves?

We don't have a lot of resources to offer the independent learner.  I
am wondering what you would recommend to a busy, but theoretically
motivated professor.

Thanks,

Derek
