BBC Languages

BBC language (bbc.co.uk/languages) offers free courses for many languages and also quick fixes for others. The quick fixes only list a few essential words and phrases, but the courses offer video, audio, games and even some slang words to help you sound more like a native speaker. They also offer a short test to help gauge what level you are, since they offer beginner, post beginner and intermediate courses. They also have grammar lessons, dictionaries, and suggest TV and radio that you can watch to help improve your skills.
I have been using the French section, which has a video series called "Ma France". It includes 24 videos, each with comprehension questions, and various activities to help build vocabulary, write correctly, and form grammatical sentences.
This is truly an amazing site, with many resources available for free, conveniently located on the same page.
