Free Language Learning Resources:

Aloha All,

I am going to school for applied linguistics. I am studying Russian on my own right now. I have come across a ton of great resources for several languages I thought I should share:

Language learning/languages in general:
http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/e/index.html <- Solid reference for different languages and forums are nice too.

http://fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php <-Old gov courses now in the public domain. Can be a bit cumbersome and some of the stuff isn't great for those studying on their own.

http://www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/language-guide/language-difficulty <-Language difficulty rankings.

Swedish:
