Livemocha


Livemocha is a language-learning site that offers courses for a variety of different languages. The upside is that it offers a ton of practice and criticism from actual speakers of the language, so you know what you're doing wrong. The downside is that there is no differentiation between different languages, so things specific to that language are not very well taught. For example, livemocha doesn't really go into the writing systems of different Asian languages. There also isn't really anywhere that teaches grammar.

So, although livemocha probably shouldn't be your main language-learning tool, it's still really good for practicing your language with native speakers and getting criticism from people who know what they're talking about.
