THread about learning esperanto. They will probably help you for free.

Post blog entries in your target language and get them corrected by native speakers:

http://lang-8.com/ - I have the most experience with this one. I find it simple and straightforward to use. Help other people while they help you.

http://livemocha.com/ - I believe this is similar to lang-8 but have not used it much.

http://www.interpals.net/ - This is like MySpace for language learning. You can use it to practice languages seriously, or you can just chat with people for fun.

I'll add on to your suggestions with http://www.ipernity.com/ which is not directly an Esperanto learning site, but it has an Esperanto interface available and many groups for Esperanto speakers, and functions like a mix between Flickr and MySpace (or Orkut if anyone remembers that). If you post casually on there and tag your stuff as Esperanto then you will start getting comments from random friendly Esperantists. You can find some cool content there because they let you upload vids, pics, audio, and pdfs as well as make blog posts.

A community and flashcard program for Heisig's Remembering the Kanji and Remembering the Hanzi.

I just made >>>/spanishclass/ for anyone learning Spanish.

for those of us not in US, any way you can get us mangolanguages with a few library access accounts?

Don't be fooled into thinking all these trendy (and mostly recent) flashcard and software-based methods are decent ways to "learn" a language. Many are outright scams (Rosetta Stone), and while some can be OK for drilling vocab and other basic memory stuff, you're really better off just getting to the point, with a grammar+workbook method, that you can start reading actual prose and talking to actual speakers, and then doing that.

If you want to try learning a language in the sense that you do not know it at all and you want to start, you could start with FSI courses or their derivatives, which are free and easy to find online. FSI are old now, but they were used to give people crash courses in foreign languages so they could work (or spy) in other countries. They are no-nonsense and intensive, but difficult and somewhat outdated now. There are sometimes newer commercial courses which are based off of them

Other than that you might want to simply look for universities which list their syllabi, or at least their required readings, for language classes publically, and then look into the textbooks those classes use, and if they're good either pirate them or try to find them at a library.

TPB and similar sites usually have large collections of language textbooks and learning materials though much of it will be from older versions or just plain crappy. For example TPB has an Ancient Greek language torrent that includes Athenaze, JACT 1st ed., and two other shitty ones, when Athenaze sucks, the recent second edition of JACT is ten thousand times better, and in my opinion you probably want to use Hansen & Quinn anyway (which isn't there at all).

Should also be able to find Wheelock's Latin on there fairly easily which is perfectly fine for self-teaching. Probably avoid Cambridge Latin. I personally like Shelmerdine's Introduction to Latin because it's short. Lingua Latina is an "immersion" method and mostly a scam that will waste your time.

I don't have my account number any more, but if I sign up for mango again I will post it for people to use.

>trendy software-based methods
i agree rosetta stone is shit ( http://language101.com/reviews/rosetta-stone/ ) but there's a lot to be said for gamification as a motivator

sure you can learn by reading/working through a dry workbook but it requires hard work and perseverance. you have to be super motivated (bear in mind we're on a chan right now). the benefit of something like duolingo is that it uses modern consumer psychology techniques to make you want to keep going

i think both methods have their place though

Dropping a forum/website for learning Latin and Ancient Greek. It lists/recommends some grammars and dictionaries.
