Babbel is a cool site for learning (and practicing) French, Spanish, Italian and German and it has several Web 2.0 social features. Users can contribute photos (upload or from Flickr) and also have a say in how well the pictures used (or supplied by other users) fit the intended vocabulary.
There is also a messaging system where you can make friends who speak the target language so you'll have a real person to practice with.

HI Peggy,
Per your recommendation I checked out Babbel, it is pretty cool. I have been using www.edufire.com to re-learn conversational and written Spanish for my career...I'm currently living in San Diego and it is very important and makes you very marketable.
This site offers a free active forum community where they are beginning to have forums in different languages…so that one can write and converse with native speakers, educational flashcards (words and phrases) and language videos..ALL for free! Setting up a profile is free.
Tutoring sessions via video chat have a small but affordable fee associated with each tutor.
Check it out at http://www.edufire.com
