LangNet is another excellent, GLOSSesque site for high-intermediate and advanced learners, mostly of "exotic" languages. However, note that "At this time, LangNet is available to government agencies and select academic institutions." I was granted access a couple of years ago even though I'm a teacher of Latin, not of any languages offered within the site, namely:

"Afan Oromo, Amharic, Arabic (Egyptian, Iraqi, Levantine, Modern Standard, Moroccan, Sudanese), Balochi, Bambara, Bengali, Bulgarian, Burmese, Chavacano, Chechen, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dari, French, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Igbo, Italian, Japanese, Kashmiri, Kinyarwanda/Kirundi, Korean, Kurdish, Sorani, Pashto, Persian, Portuguese, Quechua, Russian, Shona, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Thai, Tigrinya, Turkish, Turkmen, Urdu, Uzbek, West Punjabi, Wolof, and Yoruba."

If you meet LangNet's access criteria, it's definitely worth looking into. It is supported by the US National Foreign Language Center, which Mandarin learners may want to visit thanks to their new project entitled "Read Chinese!" This project is designed for beginning to intermediate students (mostly ILR 0-1+), and the modules are presented in the LangNet format. It is available to anyone, no registration or application required. Also, within "ReadChinese!" users will find a comprehensive language learning strategy guide of potential interest to students of any language.
