All right, I'll list some of my favorite language websites, such as blogs, learning websites, YouTube channels, etc. for other people to check out.
My favorite language forum:
http://www.how-to-learn-any-language.com
My favorite blog:
This blog is about both natural languages and international auxiliary languages. He also writes considerably about space exporation and technology. It is written by a Canadian working in Seoul as a translator.

Another blog, by an Australian author & scientist trying to write literature for an international audience:

Naomi Chambers's language blog:

A blog by a young man sampling 37 languages and deciding on one, kind of like The Bachelor for languages:

Some learning materials:
Jim Becker's website, links for 14 languages, the one below is for Spanish:
http://www.uni.edu/becker/spanish3.html
Spanish conjugation trainer:
http://www.spaleon.com/index.php
Spanish basics, plus a site to connect with Spanish-speaking learners of English, by chat or as a pen pal. Completely free. No, I haven't tried it yet.
http://www.lingolex.com/spanish.htm
German:
Deutsch - Warum Nicht? Great site to teach the basics of German, produced by the Goethe Institut and Radio Deutsche Welle. It's a four part course with 26 lessons in each part. This is the site in German.

Paul Joyce's German website, a professor at the University of Portsmouth in the UK. I highly suggest reading his "Why learn German?" section:

Some YouTube channels:
Alkantre, aka Dr. Peter Browne, a Spanish professor at, I think, the University of Texas, and top-notch polyglot. The cool thing about him is he comments on new users' channels and videos, sometimes in random languages, LOL.

Brian Greco, a young teenager who makes great review videos. He's interested in IALs and more unusual languages, such as Navajo (he has Rosetta Stone Navajo) and languages from the South Pacific.

Cody, from Minnesota, a college student who is interested in German, Chinese, Swahili, Arabic, and probably many more.

A great Latin channel:

Anthony Lauder's channel, great even if you aren't interested in Czech, since he talks about issues everyone learning languages could benefit from hearing:

Glossika, a YouTube polyglot heavyweight:

A female polyglot:

Probably one of the biggest language channels on YouTube:

Professor Alexander Arguelles's channel, probably the biggest language channel on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ProfASAr
And many others. I don't want to list anymore right now, since this post is long enough.
