A useful web resource to practice language is Lingq.
Practically speaking, by lingq you can organize your “lessons” that consists only in a target language article, or essay, text, whatever, and, eventually, an audio file.
You can create your lesson by editing them by on line text editor and uploading audio, or you can access to already available lessons, not always free.
The single words of the text can be organized in a list of “lingq”, that are basically the list of the words that you want to memorize.
If you just click on a word or a group of words then you are adding it (them) as a lingq, that thereafter you can memorize with built in flashcards exercises.
Any lingq contains the word/s and the translation to the origin language, resolved by built in vocabulary or external sources, like googletranslator and lingvo, for example.
The single word of the lingq can be pronounced by a high quality speech synthesizer.
It does not focus on grammar rules so probably it is useful as a complementary tool for other traditional “legacy” course.
Free account have with some limitations about the number of current active lingqs and lessons.
