I'm not sure if this is the right board, but as I'm not sure where else to put this, it goes here.
Learning languages is a passion, and a great way to open up windows into new cultures and people's minds when abroad. But I'm having some trouble finding good resources for learning languages on my own. Where do you guys go to do this, and what resources do you use?
I tried things like LingvoLive, but it doesn't really teach you a language; only how to parrot it. I'm thinking especially of learning the Western European languages and Russian right now, but any advice about any language is welcome.
Please share own experiences!
Currently I had a lot of good experiences with sites like masterrussian.com, obviously for learning Russian. SharedTalk, which has been replaced by HelloLingo, has also been an excellent resource.

OP here.

After having written up SharedTalk, I ended up going on there. It's been four hours since I posted here, and I'm still on SharedTalk's new site - Hellolingo. I don't know about Babbel and Livemocha and so forth, but Hellolingo is a great way to find people to practice a language with.

Thanks, that sounds a little obvious now that you say it. I'll go have a look.

You are welcome, though this board is generally more helpful than /int/. /int/ is like the light hearted bantz/meme/ironic version of /pol/. Not much seriousness goes on there.
