I used to love Rosetta Stone but now I am using some of the ounces you mentioned above which I really like. I learned French by using Rosetta Stone and decided to use livemocha and I am loving it even thought it’s. Little bit slow.

In reply to Grace. Thanks for sharing Grace, it looks like you've collected quite a resource there.

Very good summary of language learning resources, Anil. May I add one? Blogs focused on language learning is also very useful. Mine is one: justlearnchinese.com.

I haven’t tried Skype but wrote about these services that do something similar and you’ll likely have less work finding a partner:

Another thing that can really work are setting up language exchanges. This can be done by searching and setting up times over Skype, for instance. Skype seems to have plenty of Chinese and Spanish speakers that want to practice English, and then you get the chance to practice with them as well. I’m sure there are plenty of other language users on there, that’s just what I’ve personally noticed a lot of :o)

Just search by country, send a friendly message, and see if they bite on the idea. It shouldn’t take too much work to find someone willing to set up a weekly time. Also, there are plenty of international sites you could go on to find someone to Skype with.
