LanguageGuide.org is an online language learning resource available in numerous languages ranging from English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, to Korean. This illustrated vocabulary guide contains sound-integrated exercises at three levels -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and allows for independent practice at the learner's own pace. These practice exercises are appropriate for elementary and middle school students and this resource would be well suited on a teacher webpage. Thematic topics vary by language but generally include numbers, parts of the body, clothing, food, animals, weather, home, and school. There is an option menu on each screen for listening, speaking, and reading practice, as well as a quiz for students to check their comprehension. Some languages also feature a Grammar and Readings section for more advanced learners.

Spanish audio phrases, dialogues, myths, legends, comics, pronunciation, and cultural activities with audio and transcripts.

This is a great resource for EFL teachers.  The site has the recent news articles delivered in three different levels based on learner ability. The site can be used for additional practice for EFL students or as homework.

This site has hundreds of short, authentic audio clips (in French as well as in other languages) that teachers could have their students listen to. Entries are tagged according to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) level, theme, duration, voice, etc.

This site has thematic French vocabulary exercises that include authentic audio for topics such as the body, animals, the family, clothing, the train station, in the city, etc. It could be assigned for homework so that students can listen to the audio as many times as they like, or it could be projected on a screen for classroom use.
