Free Web App Service for 10 Languages

A Unique Free Web Service with Apps for Learning Languages

Lingua.ly is a free service for learning languages based on reading local news (and any other content online) in the target language to acquire new vocabulary.

This service is great if you are already somewhat proficient in the target language as it has a lot of great tools for practicing the vocabulary that you amass while reading on Lingua.ly as well as across the Web (via their Chrome browser extension). It is not suitable for total beginners as an introduction to a new language.
