Learning a new language is one effort where you can only progress so far on your own. Eventually you'll have to practice speaking it with others. These resources can start you off:
Free Web Tutorials, Podcasts & Online Classes
- ielanguages has a mix of both free and fee-based resources. Some of these include links to the website owner's graduate school research projects in linguistics, for those of us who like the nitty-gritty on how languages start and develop.
- Word2Word is a clearinghouse site for free online courses and chat sites, translation services and dictionaries.
- The BBC has a languages site that offers basic tutorials and games for skill-building
- LangMaster offers 3 levels of the most popular European languages.
- For listings and descriptions of languages of the world, some with links to informational or learning sites, see 123 World
- For quick travel phrase audio learning, I've liked the In Flight and Rush Hour programs.
- Speak in a Week also provides basic phrases but the learner also needs use the cue cards that come with it.
