I've been playing a game called influent that teaches vocabulary in different languages (it was in the humble bundle), but it doesnt have much vocab :/

>http://www.memrise.com/It has a bunch of user created courses which are maintained by the community to help you build your vocabulary.
Even though they went full jew and added a premium subscription model it's still possible to access all courses with a free account.
>http://www.duolingo.com/Similar to Memrise but better.
Unfortunately, it only supports 8 languages currently.
>http://kanjitomo.netTool to identify Japanese characters on the screen.
Very helpful to read manga or LNs that don't have furigana.

>>336Yeah, it's pretty cool. I've been using the text chat and the voice chat for quite a while now(I immediately switch to skype because the sound quality is better). Especially the voice chat is full of people who talk to everyone who only speaks rudimentary English.
You won't learn anything through the public chats. Go one to one.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! A list of resources, sorted by language, has been compiled and added to the announcements. It's still not complete obviously, but it's a start. I didn't have time to add all the links for Japanese provided in those pastebins, for example (I hope to be able to finish today).
The main limit of this list, and others like it, is that most of the material is intended to be used by speakers of the English language. While it's certainly possible to learn a new language through English, it doesn't make things any easier for the student.
For this reason, I'd now like to encourage you to share any interesting site or book that you know of, written in your native language, preferably with a short description (also in your native language, not in English) of what it is (grammar? exercises? for beginners or advanced students? things like that). The idea is to have a resource hub that includes resources for as many languages as possible, in as many languages as possible. It's quite ambitious, yes, but if enough people want to make it happen, I think it's possible.
