DuoLingo
Duolingo is a smartphone app designed to make learning a new language fun. It’s used by students and adults alike, although I would recommend using it alongside existing language learning.
Languages Online
Despite it’s simplistic and slightly dated design, Languages Online contains some of the best vocabulary lessons, quizzes and crosswords.
Memrise
By using a carefully formulated memory technique, Memrise makes it easier for students to remember words from modern foreign languages they are currently learning.
Teach it languages
If your looking for resources to teach languages this is a great site packed with content to help you teach children at Key stage 3-5.
