Learning a language for free

Fancy learning a language for free? Want to help translating the web?

Here is the answer: Duolingo

From Wikipedia => Duolingo is a free language-learning website and crowdsourced text translation platform. The service is designed so that as users progress through the lessons, they simultaneously help to translate websites and other documents.[1][2] Currently, the site offers only Spanish and German courses for English speakers, though it has plans to expand to French, Italian and Chinese in the future.[3] Duolingo launched in private beta on November 30, 2011, and has accumulated a waiting list of more than 100,000 users.[3] As of January 19, 2012, the service has translated over 45,000 sentences.

I'll try it to learn spanish and hopefully, what they say will be true: you can really learn a language via Duolingo!
