Teach Serbian

Learn Survival Serbian

Wikitravel users have collectively created a free Serbian phrasebook with the goal of making it possible for travelers to "get by" while traveling in areas where Serbian is spoken.

Wikitravel phrasebooks are available in many languages and each one varies in depth and detail. Most of the phrasebooks include a pronunciation guide, a general phrase list, information about dates and numbers, a color list, transportation-related phrases, vocabulary for shopping and phrases for eating and drinking. Some are even more in depth, and all are free!

Six Ways to Learn Languages Free

Language Learning Tips on Using Free Wikimedia Resources

This article points out six useful ways to use Wikimedia content from Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquotes for learning languages free.

What's highlighted here is also great for teachers because it is licensed via Creative Commons and available to use for free.

Spanish is used as an example here, but the same ideas are applicable to all languages for which content is available.

1) Know General Info about Your Target Language

Find out general information about a language by viewing that language's Wikipedia entry. For example, here's the Spanish language entry on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language

It contains loads of general information, as well as specifics about grammar, alphabet, pronunciation, etc.

2) Use Wikibooks and Wikiversity Courses to Get Started

book2

Free Audio Books for 40 Languages

book2 is an outstanding resource for learning the basics of many languages.

This project sticks out by offering around 1600 combinations of languages, such as Japanese to English, Chinese to Arabic, etc, to use for exposure.

The method involves learning a series of short audio sequences to become comfortable in specific situations (introductions, meeting people, getting around, etc) common in daily life.

It's interesting that this specific book will become familiar to you in itself, so recalling the same material in new languages might be accelerated. Once you've memorized the whole audio sequence in one language, why not move on to another?
