As for online resources, Mango Languages has a nice format. Not saying it's the end-all, be-all for language learning, but we've gotten a lot out of it, and the kids enjoy it, though it's not fun, per se. And it's not a free site, but your local library might have access to it.

The languages they have on their site, as of the time of this writing ;) are:
Arabic (Levantine)
Chinese (Cantonese)
Chinese (Mandarin)
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Dari
Dutch
Farsi (Persian)
Finnish
French
French (Canadian)
German
Greek
Haitian Creole
Hawaiian
Hebrew
Hindi
Indonesian
Irish
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Pashto
Pirate
Polish
Portuguese (Brazil)
Russian
Slovak
Spanish (Latin America)
Tagalog
Tamil
Thai
Turkish
Ukrainian
Urdu
Vietnamese


Also, doing a Google search on "polyglot" lead me to a great deal of very interesting blogs and online resources. :ymcowboy:
