Japanese is probably the most supported foreign language, but French is also available. It'd be nice if they had more users and development:- Anki - flash card system with downloadable language packs Mnemosyne - similar to Anki Verbiste - conjugation system There are a huge number of programs I haven't tried for memorization, dictionaries, grammar, even pronunciation - and a number of subtitle based video programs. Best (for me), but not remotely Debian/Linux are immersion labs. I won't promote them here but I've know several people who spoke very highly of a 2 week course in the Loire Valley.
