I have always wanted to learn either Japanese or Chinese and to someday travel abroad to one of those countries as well. For the most part I have always focused on learning Japanese as it seemed easier because of the lack of the multitude of dialects. However I recently came across this article about China launching a web site to help people learn Chinese. Although I have not had a chance to fully explore the web site or to look into any of the tutorials, I am looking forward to having the time and opportunity to do so.
