The best site I have found for learning Greek is http://www.kypros.org/LearnGreek/
It is a full language course and I have downloaded a lot of it. I played the audio while recording it with lprecorder to save the file. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My library has free access to a site with free "eaudiobooks". There are books of all sorts of topics, and about 6 pages of language stuff, including the pimsleur course. Each item is available for download, and 21 days later you must "renew" the licence (free again). This is done to preven copyright violation, and so far seems to be a great boon. The following is the link through my library. Please feel free to use it, but I would also encourage others to see if their libraries offer similar services.

I believe that YouTube is a great free resource. There are so many language videos to
view and with a program like YouTube Downloader or FreeMake one can download videos for offline viewing. YouTube videos helped me a lot with learning Mandarin and the Wu dialect and I now use them for learning Vietnamese. I've used Khmer YouTube videos to learn basic phrases when I went to Cambodia earlier this year and I'll review them for my upcoming trip to Phnom Penh. I think it would be an interesting challenge to learn a language using ONLY YouTube videos. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For a while I've considered So you want to learn a language to be the best "one-stop shop" to use the hackneyed term loved by advertising/marketing/corporate/consulting drones. It doesn't have everything that's free and legal that can help someone learning a foreign language (e.g. GLOSS is curiously absent) but I can't think of anything better for convenience and comprehensiveness when it comes to looking for material online.
To be honest I think that this forum is the best free resource available for all of the stuff that's been linked and discussed over the years but these items are scattered over several forums and coupled with the crude search capability used by the vast majority of members (i.e. non Pro Members) can be a real pain to find. The Collaborative Profiles and some of the sticky threads do help, but it seems that lots of good stuff is still buried having been brought up by members who're no longer around or sitting in a post which is unrelated to the thread's title or OP as is common in spontaneous or free-flowing online discussions. 4 persons have voted this message useful |
