I'm surprised noöne has written here about this yet. (Or am I missing it??)
Some of you may have heard about DuoLingo, but for a long time it teached only a limited set of languages.
This was until quite recently. Now the possibility for users to create courses for languages (called 'language incubator') is out.
For now it's only possible to build courses to learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese from any other language in the world.
Before the end of the year, it will be possible to create courses in all combinations of languages.
There will be even courses for constructed languages, such as learning Klingon from Sindarin (Elvish language).
And the best thing is that this is and will remain free.
Just imagine what a huge database of language learning will accumulate quickly as soon as people begin to contribute.
Very many people have agreed that Duolingo is the single best website to learn languages.

Everybody in there can apply to contribute, so spread the word, it's a wonderful moment for language learning.

It sounds really exciting, but for the moment it appears it's limited to the five (six including English, i suppose) already offered languages. It's definitely an interesting project and i'd love to contribute when it opens up to more languages. Thanks for sharing!
