I just stumbled upon this website and thought it was worth posting here. It's probably one of the most comprehensive sites I've seen for getting a good footing in almost any language. The only problem is it doesn't include genders for the vocabulary, but it's still great as a supplement to your learning. And everything comes with audio!

Also, I realize now that this probably looks like spam...
It's not.

Site looked interesting, but might not be best for learning Korean. Lots of mistakes and oddities, plus it sounded like a robot.

Yet another language learning web site with more emphasis on the UI experience than the content. I sampled some German lessons and noticed that some of the audio was not spoken by a native speaker and a couple of other mistakes. For example:
(For those of you who don't speak German, the picture shows the wrong article (der Flugzeug instead of das Flugzeug) and the audio matches the text.)
I also looked at some of the Arabic lessons and noticed similar issues. For example, they used the same Arabic translation for two different English words etc.
The site looks nice, but they definitely need to spend more money on QA and better content, because the "one size fits all" concept simply doesn't work for language programs.

Yeah, since I've posted it I've noticed a lot of errors in the Spanish version, too. I still think it would be good as a supplement for more advanced speakers. Hopefully they'll work out the kinks eventually.

Hey guys. Does anyone know a good Modern Persian coursebook that emphasizes on teaching
more native Iranian vocabulary and grammatical constructs rather than Arabic loans?
Thanks!
EDIT: Why does my question keep popping up here rather than in the forum? :(
