Popling: Learn Languages Online The Easy Way

Would like to learn foreign language but lacking motivation to actually do it. Popling.net might help. It is a website and Adobe AIR app for people who want to learn other language but do not like the idea of intensive language course.

The application focuses on passive learning and lets you get familiar with vocabulary without too much effort. It shows you a flash card every few minutes (you decide how often) through an unobtrusive notification window. If you aren’t busy, click the notification to answer the question on the flash card.
Otheriwse you may gnore it and it will disappear shortly after. 

Once you have answered the card, click ‘Hide’ to put the application away until it’s time to pop again. This way you can passively learn just about anything. It works in particularly well for learning languages online.

The site also provides you over 10.000 flash cards from various topics like: Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Chemistry, Geography and more.

Users may also make their own flash card sets on any desired topic.
