www.jump-gate.com/languages/french/
9-lesson beginner's course for learning French.
www.bonjourdefrance.com
Substantial free materials for learning French online and one of the few sites with more advanced material. This site should be very promising, but is hindered by being only in French (you need to know already French to learn French), and some quirky design problems.
www.jihak.co.kr
This site is Korean only and you need to register, but it's still here because the material is realy good and better than most English sites. Includes hundreds of conversational audio lessons to supplement JiHak.com's popular French school textbook series. If you can manage to use this site this is an excellent resource.
