Potluck #49-Love of languages

I found all the sites listed- livemocha, mango, and wikibooks- to be very interesting. However, I think for my purposes livemocha would be the best choice. It seems to really be at the pace of the learner. Since distractions are always around, my pace would be hard to be consistant. I love the sound of the French language, and took a year of it in high school, and I wouldn't mind being able to speak it for my own pleasure. However, the more usuable language for my job would be either Spanish or one of the Middle Eastern languages, since they seem to be the most common ones spoken by our patrons, other than English.
