I have a minor in German Language and Literature...I use them once in a while for refresher...but when my husband and I were going to Germany I had him go through the flash cards every morning.

The tapes/cds just NEVER worked for me..I tried learning Japanese through cds...I would listen to them at night before bed..but just couldn't get into it..I need a book or written word in front of me to understand..so the flash card site really helped me.


I think I linked to the German Flash Cards...??? Just hit the home button and you will see every language to choose from..I am thinking of trying the Chinese Flash Cards..

What a great idea for a thread!
I have few to add.
My son's favorite:
Enchanted Learning
Homeschool related also:
123TeachMe (Ericthenewbie, this site has Spanish lessons, flash cards, audio/pronunciations and many other topics, as well.)
Super Teacher Worksheets
Cool Math
Cool Math for Kids (younger)
Primary Games - Social Studies
Other informational links:
SurvivalistForum - Varied information throughout including how-to's, DIY's, etc.
Digital Library for Earth Systems Education
And 2 personal favorites:
LDS Preparedness Guide (in printable format)
500 free military survival e-books
ETA: all those links are free, though a few have subscriptions available to access more of the website. Enchanted Learning, for example, has many free pages but also has $20 a year option for full access.

I was just quickly looking through the links and the "how-to-learn-any-language.com" one has material you need to buy but the "learnalanguage.com" looks to be free and appears to have a pretty comprehensive tutorial.

I was in Germany a decade ago and regretfully I didn't retain much of their language aside from "Sie sprechen Englisch" (gives self the old *face to palm*)

I found the Spanish section of the site and bookmarked it. I think it will go well with learnalanguage.com KingAtlas provided.

Well here is another language, haha a little older.
I was looking through my favorites and found this.

Introduction to Ancient Greek
It takes a little while to upload due to size, its a book and has a pdf version available.

Also,
This is a translator and lexicon for ancient and modern greek, punch in a word and you can get a translation
Lexicon


I used these for looking at older texts and writings.
