Try Mango - No, not the fruit. Mango is a new (still in Beta) online language program that allows you to learn 9 foreign languages using a Flash-based website.

The program uses lessons and slides so you can skip around to any slide within the lessons if you wish to repeat something or skip ahead. I tried the Japanese course and found it to be a great refresher for me. (Y, M, O, T)
