I have been studying French, as I believe I've mentioned no more than ten or twenty times per week. For those similarly inclined, I would like to point out some nice resources I've found on the web.
There are others, of course -- Google Translate and Round Trip Translation come to mind -- but these are the ones I've found most useful for studying the language.

I learned long ago another language is beyond my capabilities but I admire those who can and do.
I don't think it's beyond anyone's capabilities. To be fluent, yes, that is difficult. To get a basic comprehension of standard phrases, to be able to utter them, even with the most egregious accent - that's possible.
I heard a fellow say that in Chicago, where he lived, there were thousands of people who barely spoke English, communicating in a polyglot, wrong tense, all of that -- but they managed.
I want to do substantially better than that - to sound like I've lived there, or at least in Quebec!
