Free Language Tutorials: Basic Phrases, Vocabulary and Grammar in 15 Languages
Currently, fifteen languages are available: 12 Indo-European and 3 non-Indo-European. There are also two comparative tutorials for those who want to learn two languages simultaneously. Recently, I've begun a project to convert the Foreign Service Institute language programs to HTML format. Lists of vocabulary and verb conjugations are available for some Romance and Germanic languages, as well as other helpful ideas, resources and links for learning foreign languages. Some of the tutorials also include audio resources and online exercises, indicated by the headphones and notebooks below.
How do you say...? Learn more about Indo-European languages and where to learn them. Interested in learning English in London? Malvern House is your passport to the world.

Language Hacking Guide by Benny Lewis, the Irish Polyglot
From fluentin3months.com:
"The Language Hacking Guide explains exactly what you need to do to speak a language quickly. Rather than read through the guide to find out my one major ‘secret’, I can tell you right now. You need to speak the language from day one.
No years of studying grammar, no expensive and complicated software, no “magic pill” to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately. The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.
Even though this may be obvious, how you actually speak a language that you have just started to learn seems almost impossible to many people. So they’ll wait until they are “ready”. That wait may be years, or they may simply never even try.
But it’s not actually that hard! That’s what the Language Hacking Guide is about."
