DuoLingo: free online language learning resource

Hello everyone,

I just found a website for learning languages called duolingo.com. I think six are offered so far. I'm taking Spanish, and I know there are also French, Portuguese, German, Italian, and English. It's free, interactive, and the graphics are great (and complete with cute little animated owls). They let you test out of material you already know, and when you're learning something new you go at it from all different angles: translating, matching images, and listening activities. The person who recommended it to me said it was better than Rosetta Stone. I haven't used it long enough to know, but it's certainly cheaper. 

I'm not involved with the website or compensated for this in anyway. It's just that when I find a valuable service for free, I feel that I owe it to the provider to pass the recommendation along.

If you're interested in learning a language, I recommend you check it out. ¡Buena Suerte!
