Free Online Language Courses

Dozens of courses are listed in dozens of languages, from Burmese and Lao to Chinese and Slovenian, but the quality of the lessons varies greatly. Some of the courses offer the basic words travelers need to get by, while others are designed to make a person fluent in the language.

The range of languages can be very helpful to adventure travelers who are going to exotic destinations where few, if any, locals speak English. Keep in mind that with languages may require a browser, or a program, that gives you the ability to read the letters and symbols in the language you are learning.
