Learning a language with the web

This forum thread can be dedicated to useful online links perhaps.

Hey, thanks. That's a good link. I'll post more that I find also.

Beginner:

Deutsch-online-lernen

Really well structured course with videos (find them on youtube) and good pronunciation (I assume the speakers must be native Germans)

Deutsch Welle

The "standard" online offering for learning German I suppose?

Advanced:

A slower version (Germans speak terribly fast!) of the podcast "Sleepless in Munich" that you can listen to when you have sufficiently mastered German. Best part is, the transcript is embedded neatly into the ID3 tags so you won't be lost.

Native German Speakers

You can find youtube videos featuring native german speakers being interviewed so you can get an idea of the accent.

I have a firefox plugin called gTranslate that conveniently translates text I find on news sites like zeit.de

I just forgot the awesome Quick German on youtube. Check this out if you just have 10 minutes and want to see how German sounds like. You'll really learn a lot in 10 minutes!
