The BBC’s Learn Spanish (http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/index.shtml) website is fantastic whether you are just starting out or are an advanced learner. I wish this had been available to me when I was first learning Spanish. The content presented on the above page through links is quite extensive.
For the beginner, there is a self-contained online course, a “Quick Fix” for printable holiday phrases with audio and mp3 download, two video courses (one short and one long), a historical look at Spanish across Europe, two links for primary/elementary schools, and a message board.
For the more advanced student there are interactive crosswords, El Mensual audio magazine (with quizzes), Reportajes audio-based activities by topic or structure focus, Cool Spanish (slang), Spanish for Work, Spanish Journey (transcripts of a TV show), and links to purchase books, DVDs, and CDs.
There is something for almost everyone, even tutors http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/tutors/internet/. While this evaluation is in regard to Spanish, there are links to similar BBC sites for French, Spanish, German, Italian, Mandarin, Chinese, Portuguese, Greek, and more languages.
The website is so extensive, very easy to use, and so much of it is free that it is hard to find any are for improvement. It would be nice to not have to purchase a book for some of the video program(mes), but, hey, they have to make money too.
