Best websites for learning languages (no euphemisms here either)

Long story short, I'm developing ~~some educational~~ websites for students of a couple of languages (which means the conclusion of the almost forgotten guide to electronic music is once again post-poned) and I'd like to know what your favourite resources are Does any of you study languages on the internet?

Edit, here are some website indexes that might explain what I'm looking for:

www.omniglot.com
www.yourdictionary.com

Trunks: Wikipedia is an excellent source, but I was looking for more institutional. I'm gonna edit the first post because I admit it is too vague Thanks, by the way

b&b: Thanks for sharing

TvD: Sorry to ask you that, but I'm really confused... isn't that a game? The game is very nice indeed but I was rather looking for something "educational" as in "things we might learn at school/uni".

Hehe, thanks

I had originally meant to ask for all sorts of educational websites because I thought I could get some nice ideas from those pages (which I eventually did) but then I realised my request was too broad

It's not too bad and it's used my many organizations (mostly the army). I actually am having fun learning!

I love multiple choice!

Interesting I'd love to get a few ones (it's too pricey for me though, so I might wait a little longer )
