Looking to learn a new language?

Try Livemocha --> http://www.livemocha.com/

According to their own documentation...Livemocha is an exciting e-learning Web 2.0 startup founded by a group of experienced and successful entrepreneurs based in the Seattle area. Livemocha addresses a $20 billion worldwide language learning market fueled by rapid globalization, immigration and travel. Livemocha is a first of its kind web based language learning solution integrating online instructional content with a global community of language learners.

Basically - you sign up and can take lessons in a foreign language - then they will help you find a partner to practice with so you become more proficient. I thought it was very interesting. Maybe I will learn Italian in my spare time?! Oh right, I don't have spare time.

Enjoy!

This is a great site. Funny that you mentioned learning Italian, because that is what I want to learn. I went to Italy 2 summers ago and knew a few key phrases to get me by. I want to learn the language before I go again (hopefully soon)! I'm going to bookmark this site so that I can go back to it...after I graduate! LOL
