The FSI offers a wide range of language options that is mostly geared towards learning the written side over the language side, though there are plenty of audio lessons so you may get to grips with the basics of a language. The lessons themselves were created by the US government in a bid to help their English-speaking people get along with the numerous different ethnics groups in their area.

The website is ugly looking and poorly formatted, but there are a massive amount of resources for learning Japanese. There are speaking and listening exercises, vocabulary reviews, grammar and writing reviews, expressions, translated reading and there are even songs you can sing to help you learn the language. It may not be the best-looking website of the bunch, but it is loaded with information, most of which is free.
