BBC languages

BBC seems to me one of the best media companies covering a vast variety of topics in details. One of these is English language and foreign languages. Be it because native English speakers are not that famous for their aptitude to learn a foreign language, be it due to the multicultural environment which characterizes UK...BBC has an amazing section all dedicated to foreign language learning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/
There are few main languages with a complete basic course including grammar tips, vocabulary cards, word games, cultural features, videos, tests, excercises, idiomatic and slang expressions, resources about foreign media which can support your language learning. The privileged languages are:

Chinese for beginners

"Made in China" products have dominated our markets in the last decades and larger and arger Chinese communities are growing in our cities...but what do we know about this country and culture?Majestic and thousand-years old Chinese still keeps its mystery...and the best way to approach it could be picking up some few expressions and words that might come useful.

That's why EU built up a website,  http://www.chinesecom.eu/, in order to provide European businesses with better cultural and language skills to compete on international market.
