A simple Google search can get you anywhere. There really are no excuses why you’re not already jetting off to your next adventure. (You can work from anywhere these days, right?)

Livemocha is like Chatroulette for learning. A $9.95 per month subscription fee will get you access to native speakers from all over the world. And we all know the best way to learn is by immersion.
Yabla is a language immersion site that focuses on learning through watching with features like dual language subtitles and slow play. Authentic online video from TV shows to film to music gives non-natives a peek into local life for only $9.95 per month.
