A Bunch of Free Language Learning Websites

Are you looking forward to an end-of-summer vacation, but not looking forward to an anticipated language problem? Need to freshen up on your French or Spanish that you learned in high school or college? Instead of spending a lot of money on expensive training or classes, why not try some of the free language learning websites first?

Here is a list of language learning sites that don't charge any money. Most cover all the popular languages, such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. But some will even teach you the more esoteric languages, such as Ukrainian and Urdu.
