FSI language coursesLanguage courses in most common languageshttp://www.fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php (http://www.fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php)
University of RedditMore informal courses in pretty much anything, but there seems to be an incredibly large focus on Starcraft IIhttp://universityofreddit.com (http://universityofreddit.com)
MemriseBasic courses on loads of stuff, however it seems like a lot of it is just key terms, not actual learninghttp://www.memrise.com/courses/english/ (http://www.memrise.com/courses/english/)

Edit: Added Table and links, but I don't know how to add a border to the table :P
