World Languages Resources -- Please share what you've used

[Soliloquy]

Please share what you have used or even know about, even if you haven't used it. If you've used it and want to leave a review, please do that, too.

As people post, I will edit this one with a summary organized by language.

Some of these programs may have personal user reviews further down the thread. Feel free to post questions. Even if you see a program already listed, feel free to add your own personal review in the thread.

A listing here is not a recommendation by GCM, simply a starting point for you own research.
