This is good for looking up single words that you might want to express. It takes awhile to load, but the words are pronunciated so you can hear how they should sound
You can also create your own flashcards on this website – very nice!
Google Translate – http://translate.google.com – is a great site for basic translation (in both directions). It does require some “tweaking” after the computer translation, while it sometimes gives back something that might be awkward, it’s at least comprehensible.
